First Impressions Team

More than a volunteer team. The heartbeat of hospitality.

• Your Mission: Helping people.

• Your Impact:
  • You are the First smile
  • You are the First handshake
  • You are the First “We’re glad you’re here.”

First Impressions is more than a volunteer team — it is the heartbeat of hospitality at First Houston UMC. It’s the first smile. The first handshake. The first “We’re glad you’re here.” It’s the difference between someone feeling like a visitor… and feeling like they belong.

When you join First Impressions, you are stepping into a ministry of presence, energy, and intentional care. You are helping create an atmosphere where people can breathe, feel seen, and encounter God without distraction or confusion.

We are currently registering for three primary teams:

🚗 Parking Team

You are the first face people see when they arrive.
This team sets up signage, helps direct traffic, assists people across the street, supports with the golf cart, and helps guests navigate stairs and entry points. You bring calm, clarity, and kindness to what could otherwise feel overwhelming.

🚪 Greeters

You stand at the doors — both outside and inside — offering warmth and guidance.
Greeters help guests find restrooms, childcare, Sunday School classrooms, and the sanctuary. You’ll be equipped with the key Sunday morning details so you can confidently answer questions and help people feel at ease.

📍 Welcome Desk Team

Located on the 1st and 4th floors, this team helps people get connected.
You’ll assist with Sunday check-ins, support our regular attenders, and ensure everything runs smoothly for families and guests. This is where clarity meets connection.
