RADICAL HOSPITALITY
Mission/Vision - To welcome, educate, integrate and relationally connect newcomers to life and ministry of Christ Church.
Purpose: To provide the ministry of radical hospitality to those attending worship at Christ Church Denver. Radical hospitality embraces people with God’s heart of love, creating a warm and welcoming space where people feel at home and strangers feel welcome.
GREETERS, HOSTS & SPONSORS
The ministry is broken down into 3 parts;
GREETERS - Greeters greet everyone who comes to a service and help direct them to the Children’s Ministry area if needed.
HOSTS - Hosts facilitate events that help newcomers become more familiar with Christ Church. Some of these events include: Offering tours of the building after every service, and Meet & Greets, which are held once a month so newcomers can meet Clergy, Vestry and a few parishioners. In addition, Newcomer Social Lunches are held quarterly so newcomers can meet each other and ask questions about CCD which are answered by Clergy, staff, Vestry and lay ministry leaders.
SPONSORS - Sponsors help new members connect into the life and ministry of Christ Church.
VOLUNTEERS ARE VITAL TO OUR PROGRAM
Of course, none of this radical hospitality can happen without the leadership and hard work of many volunteers.
