here are more than 15 departments in our church. As directed by the general conference these departments are lead by responsible church members that form the church board along with the pastor, elders, and deacons.  Each department has a different function. For example the greeters are responsible for greeting people at the church doors on Sabbath morning.   Currently there are four departments represented. Eventually you will be able to mouse over the department link to your left to go to other departments .

                                             Hospitality Department Ministry                                              

The Primer function of the Hospitality Department is to provide fellowship and friendship to visitors that they may feel welcome in our congregation and have a desire to come back to visit us again. Secondly, The Department encourages members (new and old) to be a part or the church family. This we accomplish by developing friendships through our fellowship lunches and potlucks. Finally, the department encourages members to open their homes to show hospitality to visitors and church family members.

The Hospitality Department caters to every age group or sex. It caters to families, by providing an ambiance for fellowship after our church services. Each S.S. class is scheduled to host a potluck lunch on a given Sabbath to encourage fellowship among the members of the class and at the same time provide lunch for our visitors.

For the upcoming term our goal is to see our church as the friendliest, most hospitable and spiritual of this conference. And through our fellowship increase our Sabbath School attendance.

There are many biblical examples of the ministry of the hospitality department, listing just a few:
