Timeframe: Saturday evening and Sunday Morning services.
Qualifications: Must be a member of FLC for 1+ years and must receive required training.

Greeters
It is said, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.”
Picture this: A person who feels hopeless, like the loneliest person alive, not sure they even want to be alive, steps through the door at FLC…a ray of sunshine…an honest heart-felt love perhaps they have never experienced is waiting for them.
If you have a heart to make that first impression a memorable one to those lost and hurting, as well as to our regular church family, join us in the joyful experience of welcoming our visitors and members! We demonstrate God's love with uplifting words and a warm smile, making lasting impressions and creating friendships!
Timeframe: Greeters serve Saturday evening and both Sunday morning services as well as special events. Greeters are scheduled approximately once per month.

Guest Café
Most everyone remembers that first visit to a church…not knowing anyone, where to go, what to do…feeling like an “outsider.” The FLC Visitor Café desires to change that for all our first-time visitors and make their first impression, as well as their second and third, the most welcoming experience they have ever received! We want to be that “friendly face in the crowd” and offer fellowship, gifts, and answers to questions about the church. Use your gift of hospitality to help make our special guests feel at home!
Timeframe: Café Greeters are scheduled approximately once per month for either Saturday evening or Sunday morning services.
Contact: Molly Pagan at 614-760-0987 or e-mail: Joshua620@aol.com
Guest Follow-Up
The visitors of FLC have just experienced some of the best teaching of God’s Word there is…now what? The Guest Follow Up team comes into play! The mission of the team is to not only seek out all first time visitors to welcome them, but this continues after their first and second visit via:
· Placing a phone call on Monday (or no later than 48 hours) following attended service.
· Thanking visitors for attending FLC.
· Obtaining feedback from their experience.
· Providing additional information about the church.
· Following-up with a letter that is sent following the second visit to inform them of activities around FLC.
If you are enthusiastic, friendly, enjoy talking to people, and want to make a difference, then our team is for YOU!
Timeframe: Weekly or as scheduled.

If you answered “yes” to any of these, we welcome you to use those gifts on the Hospitality Team. The team serves in various ways, from providing refreshments for the Pastoral staff each week to ministering to guest speakers by arranging gift baskets and personal refreshments. Additionally, we provide that extra special “blessing” to new mother’s to congratulate them on a job well done! Throughout the year, we also assist with special events and seasonal décor.

Kids in Motion – (3 & 4 year olds)
Train up a child in the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it! While we are not attempting to take the place of parents, the FLC teachers enjoy supporting parents during services by teaching and training these awesome young men and women of God at an early age. We want them to learn about God and walk in His ways. The greatest blessings occur in these classes when the children exercise faith in prayer for one another. Yes, you will impact them, but more than that, they will work their way into your heart.
Timeframe: Workers and teachers minister once or twice a month on Saturday or Sunday and for special services.

Before, during, and after service, the Spirit of God moves on the congregation, and our position is to be there to ensure the Spirit moves freely. We do this by protecting the anointing around Pastor, addressing distractions, assisting members, maintaining security and serving the leadership. It is an important role that we do not take lightly! If you are a person of integrity and feel led to step into one of our Usher positions, we encourage you to get involved.
