First Impressions Ministry

First Impressions Ministry

We are devoted to keeping members and visitors comfortable, cared for, and focused on a rich worship experience.

The First Impressions Ministry helps to ensure that every person who comes in contact with the Park Ministries has a positively unforgettable experience with God — from the time they approach the church entrance to the time they are seated for worship.

Those who serve in this ministry — including Greeters and Ushers — understand that God has entrusted them to be His first impression. Our ministry’s purpose of creating a welcoming environment and an atmosphere conducive to worship is always accomplished with love.

If you are hospitable, friendly, can give concise direction, have a servants heart, and are welcoming, then the First Impressions Ministry may be the place for you to exercise your gift of serving others.

To learn more about the First Impressions Ministry, or to become involved, please contact Min. Kathryn Mahoney kmahoney@upbc.org.
