Hospitality

Q: How do we stay updated on Hospitality Ministry activities and needs?

Our primary mode of communication with volunteer teams is through Planning Center Services, which allows us to coordinate schedules and share updates efficiently. For urgent matters, we may also use texting to ensure timely communication. This dual approach helps us stay connected and respond swiftly to the needs of our ministry and congregation.

Opening Doors to Authentic Community

Our desire is for all who visit our church home to experience gospel hospitality in a safe and welcoming environment.

Through our various teams, we continuously strive to provide a warm and personable first impression with opportunities to learn about our ministries and become connected in our community. Join us in creating an inviting atmosphere that reflects Christ's love and hospitality to all who visit. Whether you're looking to serve or seeking a place to belong, Woodcreek's Hospitality Ministry is here!

Do I have to be a member to volunteer in the Hospitality Ministry?

For leadership roles within our Hospitality Ministry, church membership is required to ensure alignment with our mission and values. However, not all volunteer positions necessitate church membership. We welcome anyone with a heart to serve to join our team, allowing you to contribute in various capacities while becoming familiar with our church community. This approach lets us open doors to broader participation and ensures that those in leadership positions are deeply connected with our church's vision.

What times are available to serve?

Our hospitality teams are active primarily on Sunday mornings, with volunteers serving once a month before and after one of our two services. The early team's shift is from 8:45 AM to 10:30 AM, and the second service team from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM. For those available during the week, there are opportunities to greet guests in the church office and assist our facilities staff with building maintenance.

“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.”

1 Peter 4:10-11a, ESV
