First Impressions Team
Parking
Every person who comes to our campus begins their experience in the parking lot. The Parking Team isn't about just directing cars to parking spaces. They are a fired up group that goes over-the-top to demonstrate helpfulness and to make parking a stress free experience for all those coming to Cross Church.
Time Commitment: Must arrive a minimum of 45 minutes before service begins

Hospitality
A satellite of Cross Church NRH could not replicate the original campus experience without the help of delicious doughnuts and coffee. Our hospitality team serves a major role as they prepare the house for everyone to come and experience Christ each weekend. From preparing coffee and hosting our volunteer area with snacks and drinks to maintaining a tidy and clean snack area this team is vital to hosting everyone with warmth at Cross Church NFW.

Ushers
Creating a worship experience that is free from distraction and focused on the gospel is an essential element of every service. Ushers strive to ensure that everyone is welcomed as they enter into the worship service by helping people find a seat and in facilitating special parts of our worship experience. All of this is done in a manner that minimizes stress, distractions and anxiety so that people can open their hearts to worship God.
