8 Volunteer Roles that Help Create an Excellent Environment

At Life.Church, we couldn’t create a welcoming, comfortable environment without the leadership, buy-in, and service of our Host Team volunteers. From the street to the seat, the Host Team creates an environment that removes barriers and allows attenders to experience God.

Here are eight volunteer roles we have on our Host Team, a brief overview of each, and a link to a downloadable job description you can use at your church to create clarity around roles.
