Hospitality Ministry is to bring others together, and to feel welcome in and outside of the building, also for thoes who utilize our buliding. 

The Hospitality Ministry is one of the most important in any church.  Studies reveal that most visitors decide within the first ten minutes(10) of their visit if they will return.  The members of this ministry are the “first impression” of Vista.  

Research tells us that over 80% of church goers are faithful to a particular church because they feel that they belong.  The Hospitality Ministry is the church’s first effort of friendliness and kindness. They are the wide smile and warm handshakes.  This ministry has a simple, but important goal - to serve the Lord by making everyone who attends a service feel welcome and important from the moment they drive onto the church property, to the moment they walk through the doors, and the lasting impression we leave them leaving the property.

The WOW Factor:

The Hospitality Ministry has the opportunity to provide services that add great value to a church. A genuine smile that warms the heart. Kind words that makes someone's day special and is encouraging.

Responsibilities: 

The Hospitality ministry is a ministry of service.  It is not often praised for its efforts.  In many churches its importance is overlooked.  In some churches, it is totally neglected.  This ministry at Vista Lutheran Church is more than simply grabbing a few members of the congergation and/or new and visiting people to shake hands with. It can also be so much more! making a connection and building our network, we are an open door church. We are family of the Lord, ALL are welcome!
