Hospitality
In the Bible, the orginal Greek word for "hospitality" is philoxenia (fil-ah-zeen-ee-a), which means "love of strangers." When a guest walks through our doors for the first time, nothing matters more than a warm, friendly welcome. The Hospitality team performs that vital role, often being the reason a first-time guest comes back! The goal of the Hospitality team is to do anything and everything to help our guests see Christ. We want to greet them with unconditional acceptance and respect that makes them feel welcomed.
