“I’ll never visit your church again!” Those are the words the church never wants to hear. Yet, the first few seconds in your church building often determine if guests will return—ever. The Greeters Ministry material provides everything you need in order to develop an effective Greeters Ministry to guarantee that guests want to come back. From: Curt Gunz Monday, 7:18 a.m. Dear Church Leader, We have all seen it. Churches start a new Greeters Ministry with high hopes of making everyone who comes through the doors feel welcome. It always starts with a bang and ends with a whimper. Or worse, it limps along not really doing the job. A bad greeter program is like a vaccination for the church. It does a little bit of good--but just enough so that the church never gets the true "fever" of making the church a loving, caring, warm community. Cracking the Code of a Great Greeters Ministry Here's what you ten secrets you absolutely need to know to crack the code to a successful greeters ministry: Greeters Ministry Secret Code #1: Visitors must have a positive first impression or they won’t be back The first 30 to 90 seconds in your church building usually determine if a person will visit again—ever. This material shows you exactly how to make those crucial first moments the best they can be and teaches you to help guests have a positive experience the whole time they are with you. Greeters Ministry Secret Code #2: There are proven ways to make that positive first impression There are a few simple things you can do to make sure that guests have a positive first impression. These steps are not difficult but most churches don’t think about them and don’t do them. This material shows you how to do those things.

"I recommend these materials for church leaders who want their congregations to be more productive."   Many of us are experts at what local churches “ought to do” in order to be effective, but few of us are capable of explaining “how to do” what needs to be done…Great Commission Resources has produced a series of materials that show dedicated Christians exactly how to do some of the jobs that they already know they ought to do. I recommend these materials for church leaders who want their congregations to be more productive. Dr. Howard W. Norton Harding University Greeters Ministry Secret Code #5: Your church members are so busy that the ministry must require very little outside preparation The manual is designed so that the coordinator can use it with very little outside preparation. Every minute of the training is laid out with clear instructions. Each aspect of the ministry is explained in detail. Greeters Ministry Secret Code #6: Ministry leaders will work hard and smart when they are given the right training tools One of the most exciting things about the manual is that the coordinators will have all of the training tools at their fingertips. Because there is no need for a lot of outside preparation, this format allows the coordinators to make the best use of their time. Greeters Ministry Secret Code #7: Leaders need a way to present a clear vision of a successful ministry easily and quickly The manual not only presents the material for the coordinators to establish an effective Greeters Ministry, it also guides the coordinators in training the rest of the volunteers. Complete presentation notes keyed to reproducible transparency masters provide instant access to the information needed in the ministry. Greeters Ministry Secret Code #8: Training must be complete and efficient You’re busy. Your members are busy. No one has time for a drawn out, boring series of classes. Your volunteers will receive all the training they need in one information-packed day. After becoming familiar with the material, the coordinators from your congregation will be able to use the resources to train your own volunteers. The materials from Great Commission Resources present very practical “hands on” help.

Guaranteed

The Greeters Ministry resource is guaranteed in two ways.

First, you will be satisfied with the product.

Second, this program will lead you to an effective and ongoing Greeters Ministry or you pay nothing

You want to be a good steward of your congregation’s resources. We want you to be. If this material does not meet your needs we want you to have your investment back so that you can use it in an area that will expand the Kingdom. That’s why we guarantee that you will be satisfied and the program will work. No gimmicks. No tricks. No fine print. You can’t lose.

I know that if you've been in church work for any length of time you've probably been burned by people who make big promises and then don't deliver. That's why I've taken the time to be as accurate and as detailed in this letter as I can be. I want you to know exactly who we are and what you can expect from us.

I also offer these five promises:

1. No fat, no filler

From Page One we get right down to business. We make sure every page counts.

2. No hype

We won't be showing you things that 'might' work or 'should' work. Everything in the "Greeters Ministry" material has been tested and proven effective on at least hundreds, and sometimes many thousands, of churches. These are the actual techniques that successful churches use to build and expand their own church's ministry. And as the many churches using the "Greeters Ministry" material will tell you, we delivered on our promise of providing a complete A to Z system.

3. No Bait-and-Switch

The"Greeters Ministry" material is NOT sell-a-rama. You don't have to buy 'something else' to get the benefits of the program. It is NOT a lead-in to a more expensive deal that you have to have in order to succeed. The material stands on its own, and as so many churches have shown, the "Greeters Ministry" material contains everything you need to set your ministry on fire.

4. Real access to proven strategies

How many seminars have you been to where the 'genius' spouts wisdom, but does not know what it is like to work day after day with real churches in the trenches...to try to recruit and train volunteers...to make sure everyone is doing their job...all the while trying to keep up with hundreds of other ministry needs?

I don't like that and you probably don't either. The "Greeters Ministry" material works because it is based on real ministry.

5. Tested principles, not current fads

Everybody's always talking about the church growth fad.

The "Greeters Ministry" material is not a mega-church ministry leftover.

If you're looking for a 'fad' from a big name with an attitude to lecture you about all the "compelling", "illuminating", "extraordinary", and "provocative" ways other churches are better than you are, we're not the guys you want. We're about you growing your ministry.

Right about now, you might be asking yourself: If this is so great, why isn't everyone doing it? There's got to be a catch somewhere. There is a catch, in fact there are three.

First of all, anyone can do this. But only a few churches are doing the things it takes to have a great Greeters Ministry. (Think of the last few churches you visited)..

Second, in order for this to work, there are a few ground rules:

#1. You must be willing to use the whole "Greeters Ministry" program (not just pick and choose what you like) and
#2. You must be 'serious as death' set on doing what it takes to reach out to guests from your community through a greeters ministry

Those are two pretty basic requests, but if they're a problem for you, best not order because you will be frustrated.

Third, this is a business like any other. We're charging a fee for the "Greeters Ministry" material, a fee we feel is well in line with the value you'll receive. So we're not giving the "Greeters Ministry" material away. But we also feel that if we charge money for this material, we had better deliver -- and we do. Just ask the hundreds of growing churches who use the "Greeters Ministry" marital.

Most people guess we're into the $300.00 to $500.00 price range. Fortunately, we are not. We have sold hundreds of copies for $49.95 and you can still get a "hard copy" mailed to you for that price.

But, right now, we have a special, limited time Internet only offer. If you want instant access to this material at the lowest price ever you can get it.
