How you can help in Harvest’s Usher Ministry
We are looking for those who love to smile and make guests feel welcome and invited as they arrive and enter the sanctuary.
What to expect:
Ushers hold a special and vital role in representing the church and providing a warm and comforting environment for guests to come and worship the Lord. As a ministry, we gather before the service to discuss any special needs for that day. We will then assign each usher to a specific area to serve in for that upcoming service.
Various Usher duties include greeting, assisting with seating, and collecting tithes and offerings. At the end of the service, we ask that ushers walk through the designated section and help gather any items that may have been left behind.
What do our Volunteers say about serving in the Usher Ministry:
“To serve the Lord is an honor, a blessing, and a privilege. By ushering people to their seats, I feel like I get to be the vessel of spreading God’s love to others as they enter the church, and I also get to play a role in really making sure that they know they’re welcomed here. Being used by God as an usher brings great joy to my life. Nothing in the world can compare to the joy I feel when I get to serve the Lord in this capacity. I really love the feeling of worshipping God through service–specifically in my duties as an usher.”

Harvest’s Greeter Ministry strives to create a welcoming environment by greeting each guest enthusiastically as though you were expecting them.

Our Foyer Greeters are assigned to a particular area and communicate details specific to the weekend. These greeters will stand outside the door and welcome guests by opening the door for them and verbally greeting them. Our volunteers are willing to engage with and serve every guest, retrieve coffee refills, clean up, and personally escort any guest who asks where something is located, as needed. The goal of our Foyer Greeters is to authentically help our church attendees feel welcomed, valued, and cared for.
Sign Holders will greet everyone with enthusiasm and excitement. Our volunteers have a smile on their faces and ensure their area is covered while still moving around and having fun!
What do our Volunteers say about serving in the Greeter Ministry:
“This was the very first ministry I ever got involved in, and I’m still here. I love to greet others so much! You never know who you’re going to encounter. Some may be having a great day, and some may be having a horrible day, but when you smile at someone, acknowledge them, ask them their name, ask how you can pray for them, and show them that they matter, it can change their whole day. I always remind myself to greet others like I would want to be greeted, and it’s been a game changer. We all have so much fun greeting, and it often involves dancing, which is a bonus! Come join the greeting party!”

What do our Volunteers say about serving in the Parking Lot Ministry:
“I love serving in the Parking Lot Ministry because we have the opportunity to bless others. It really isn’t us, but God that is doing the blessing through us, and He is graciously using us as tools. Often, we will be out in the parking lot, and we will notice somebody that seems upset, or maybe they’re having a bad day, and God puts it on our heart to go talk to them and say “Hello!” or “Welcome!” and cheer them up. When we do that, the Lord blesses other people through our intentional interactions. Additionally, the friendships, the fellowship, and the love you develop with the people you’re serving alongside is really something that you can’t get if you don’t serve. You learn to get over the hilltops and through the valleys together, pray with each other, help each other out, and carry each other’s burdens. There’s just so much fellowship that goes on when you’re serving, and it adds a lot of depth and value to the church experience.”
