Who Is A Guest?

The Guest

By Casey Ross / Director of Ministry Services / Browns Bridge Community Church

If you came to my house, my family would hope to accomplish a few things. We would hope to make a great first impression. We would do what we could to make you feel comfortable and feel like part of the family. And we would certainly do what we could so that you would want to come back. I’m sure this is how you would treat any guest in your home.

We call how we welcome, inform, and serve people at our church “Guest Services” because every person who drives onto our campus is our guest. Just like a guest in your home. We don’t distinguish between members, attenders, and visitors. Everyone is a guest. And everyone is treated like a guest. That means everyone gets special treatment and attention. We want to make a great first impression on everyone. We do what we can to make everyone feel comfortable. And we certainly do what we can to make everyone want to come back.

How you see people, systems, and experiences changes when everyone becomes a guest.

    Shalom,

    This is Jin Park.
    I am an associate pastor of the Korean Church of Atlanta, UMC.
    Several days ago, I received an email from a pastor who is serving a Korean Methodist Church in South Korea.
    He has a plan to visit in Atlanta in the first week of November. And he wants to visit your great church with his some congregations.
    He wants to contact a Korean member of your church.
    If you know some Korean speaker members, please let me know.
    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Peace!
    Jin Park
