Hospitality at Local Vineyard Church
At Local Vineyard Church, great hospitality is about more than just greeting people—it’s about creating an experience where every guest feels seen, loved, and cared for. So let’s dive in and talk about what makes hospitality extraordinary here!
Comfortable
We want every guest to feel at ease the moment they step through the door. Here’s how we do it:
Safe & Secure: Our space should feel like a place where people can relax and be themselves.
Clear Signage: All signs should be clear and helpful, guiding our guests where they need to go without confusion.
Uncluttered Hallways: Make sure all hallways are open and free of clutter. It keeps things moving smoothly and looks inviting!
Clean
A clean environment speaks volumes. Here’s how we keep things sparkling:
Fresh & Clean: Every environment should smell fresh and feel clean when people walk in.
Neat & Tidy: Pens, handouts, and boxes should be out of sight or in neat containers. We’re aiming for organized, not chaotic!
Spotless Facility: Floors, glass, surfaces—everything should be white-glove approved! We want our space to shine.
Trash-Free: Keep an eye out for trash, and empty bins regularly. A tidy space makes a big impact.
Clear
Clarity helps our guests feel comfortable and confident. Here’s how we ensure everything is clear and easy:
Effective Signage: Directional signs should be easy to spot, and every area should be clearly marked.
Clear Directions: Be ready to give clear, helpful directions to guests—tell them exactly where to go.
Smooth Transitions: Know the flow of the service, from registration to special events, so you can help guests navigate seamlessly.
Our Hospitality Team Is…
Committed
We show up prepared and ready to serve. Consistency is key to creating a reliable, welcoming environment.
All positions are filled, giving us the flexibility to step away from our posts and serve guests in a bigger way.
Contagious
Our welcome is full of WOW! We want to go above and beyond to exceed guests’ expectations and blow them away with kindness and warmth.
And it’s not just about words—it’s about action. Smile. Make eye contact. Serve with excitement and anticipation of what God’s going to do through you today!
Concierges
We serve with excellence in every moment—whether it’s getting someone water if they’re coughing, or opening the door for them with a smile. We’re always looking for ways to go the extra mile!
We initiate the “Hello,” walk guests to where they need to go, and, when possible, greet them by name. It’s the little things that make all the difference!
