First Impressions

Greet all God's people in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:21

The Biblical Call to Hospitality and Greeting

Over 80 times in Scripture, we find reference to the ministry of greeting and the call to extend hospitality is referenced many times as well. Hebrews 13:2 even says, “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.”    

Recent surveys found that the majority of people visiting a church for the first time decide within ten minutes whether or not they are open to coming back. One survey states that one of the top three questions people ask when visiting a church is, “Is this a friendly place.” Since we are for the people of the Coast, being friendly and hospitable is very important to us! People matter! YOU matter!
