The role of the Host Team is invaluable at Bethel Church! Each volunteer on the Host Team plays an important role in making the weekend services possible. More importantly, it is the responsibility of the Host Team to help people feel welcome at our church and serve as a resource for any one of our guests. You probably remember the way you felt the first time you came to Bethel... chances are someone on the Host Team went out of their way to make you feel like you belonged. There are all kinds of roles available on the Host Team, including greeting, ushering, and the parking team. We hope you consider sharing your time and your smile with the Host Team at Bethel!
