Ambassador Ministry Highlights
 
Basis
          Through intentional steps of hospitality, an ambassador of Wilshire welcomes the first-time visitor (to church and/or Sunday school) through a face-to-face encounter. The ambassador seeks to visit the guest of our church within hours of the morning worship service.
         
The priorities of this ministry:
  • Express a warm welcome (after the fact) to Wilshire 
  • Invite worshiper back for next service or gathering 
Plan
          Four (4) Ambassadors are assigned each Sunday:  
          1 -- 8:30 Deacon of the Service
          2 – 11:00 Deacons of Security
          1 – 11:00 Choir member
Ambassadors meet in the front office for assignments. Feel free to stop by the office on any Sunday to see if help is needed. Guest bags for 8:30 ambassadors will be ready by 10:00 am and 11:00 am following the worship service. Each ambassador will obtain the visitor information along with a guest bag. 
The ambassador then attempts to:
  • Make a brief visit to the guest(s) at his/her home
  • Leave information with the guest and expression of welcome. A blank card is provided on the bag if the guest is not home for the purpose of leaving a note.
  • Call or e-mail Debby in the church office at 214-452-3132 or dburton@wilshirebc.org with a report of your contact  
Benefits
  • A pervasive awareness is developed by members to be keenly aware of guests
  • A spirit of teamwork grows: ambassador teams (from the deaconate at this point) as they minister together.
