Asbury Ambassadors

Within the first seven seconds that a guest arrives at Asbury, they form impressions and make three decisions:

  • Whether they like Asbury and tell people about it.
  • Whether they don't like Asbury.
  • Indifferent

When someone comes to Asbury for the first time, an impression is made. We do have a choice, however, in making that person's first impression a positive or negative one. Your smile, your “Hello” and your helpful spirit will make that first impression a memorable one. Make sure that you have eye contact and that you talk with them “Heart to Heart”.

God has blessed us with a huge facility. To a first time guest, our facility can be overwhelming and intimidating. When we fill the parking lot and the church with smiling faces, the building does not seem so big.

Sometimes guests come to Asbury with many preconceptions such as, “This church is too big, I'll never find my way around.” Or they might say, “This church is not very friendly” or “I'll never fit in.” We can tear down those preconceptions and make a great first impression in the name of the Lord. We want to create a climate that extends a warm welcome to everyone.

When guests are greeted cheerfully and feel welcome and at home at Asbury, they are better prepared for worship. The more preconceptions that we tear down before the guest enters the worship service, the more receptive and open they are to God's message.

We are there to relieve their fear and any misconceptions. We want to make the experience memorable.

How can I help?

By smiling, opening doors, greeting people, and helping new people get around campus.
