Training and Equipping

Training and Equipping

While much of this will be done by those who by nature are good representatives, we can all sharpen our skills and learn how to be more effective and intentional. Ephesians 4:12-13 says God gives us leaders to … “equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” There will be some training, organizing, and direction given in order to accomplish a more effective service. W. Edwards Deming says, “It is not enough to do your best; you must know what to do, and then do your best.” There continues to be significant planning and there is training that continues to fulfill this ministry. So, here are some of the expectations.

Team members will greet everyone, with an emphasis on identifying our Guests. They will hand out bulletins, assist our Guests with finding classes, restrooms, children’s areas, etc., provide information about the different classes, ministries, and opportunities at the Edmond congregation, assist Guests to their seats, and most importantly; Smile! By serving as “gateways” into meeting our church family we have the opportunity to reflect Christ to our Guests and represent the Church of Christ in hospitality and service.
