GREETER

Greeters create a welcoming first impression and help people feel seen, valued, and at home. Your smile, a kind word, or simple act of hospitality could be exactly what someone needs - and it may be one of the first ways they experience the love of Jesus.  Every greeter makes a difference.

COFFEE BAR

Serving at the Coffee Bar is about more than pouring a great cup of coffee. It's about creating a place where conversations begin, friendships grow, and connections are made. A warm smile, a familiar face, and a simple conversation can help someone feel welcomed, known, and part of the Discovery family. Sometimes the most meaningful ministry starts over a cup of coffee.

Serving on the Parking Team is about so much more than directing traffic—you're one of the very first people our guests will see when they arrive at Discovery. While safety is always the top priority, a smile, a wave, or a friendly greeting can go a long way. Even if your conversations are brief, you help create a welcoming first impression and let every guest know they've come to the right place. That's a role that truly makes a difference
