1st Impressions

First impressions mean a lot! Statistics show that most people that visit a church will already decide if they are coming back before they ever hear the pastor speak. Some make their choice even before the service starts! The past few years we’ve made great strides in trying to make a better first impression on all of our first time guests.

We have a HOSPITALITY TEAM that sets up free bagels and coffee on the patio for our weekend services. They are also the first ones that greet people with a smile and hand them a program as they walk in. This is the team that also runs our information area on the patio where you probably received this magazine.

As you noticed most of our services are pretty full, our USHERING TEAM assists people in finding seats as they enter the main auditorium or our outdoor video cafe. They also assist in passing out additional material, keeping order, and helping take up the offering in our services.

Crossover has a lot of activity around the campus. Our CLEANING TEAM keeps the facility looking fresh. None of us want to go into a dirty bathroom, or walk into a building that smells with trash everywhere. The cleaning team keeps God’s house looking good. We want people to come in and have a good experience and a good first impression so when it comes time for worship and the teaching they can enter in and listen without being distracted. If you want to help us continue to make good first impressions, you can see someone at the information booth to get involved.
