Have you ever been to a restaurant that had bad service? You probably have. But the real questions is have you ever been to a restaurant with bad service twice? Chances are you haven’t.
Preschool hall can be a make or break area for church growth. When a mom and dad are visiting for the first time and come to drop off their child, mom’s radar is working overtime. She is undoubtedly asking questions like; Is my child safe here? Is the teacher friendly? Will my child be loved?
Furthermore, beyond first time visitors everyone needs and deserves good service. With this thought in mind I want to give you ten steps to good service that will make a great impression on visitors and members alike.
1. Treat others the way you want to be treated.
Consider the needs of others as more important than your own. (Philippians 2:3)
2. Smile. (even if you don’t like to smile or don’t feel like it)
Joy comes from the Lord and the promise found in Him, not from your circumstances. (1 Peter 1:8)
3. Greet everyone like they are special because they are!
God loves everyone, shouldn’t you? (John 3:16)
4. Maintain a Christ-like attitude no matter what. (WWJD).
We are called to have the Attitude of Christ. (Philippians 2:5-11)
5. Think kind thoughts about others. (The ministry is all about people)
Love expresses itself by keeping no record of wrongs. (1 Corinthians 13:5)
6. Take responsibility for your mistakes.
People want answers not excuses.
7. Be a good listener.
We can often learn much when we choose to listen first. (James 1:19)
8. Look for ways to go beyond what’s expected.
This is a fundamental teaching of Jesus (Mat 5:40-41).
9. Use wisdom.
Look to God for wisdom and he will grant you your wish. (Proverbs 2:1-6)
10. Brag on positive behavior to the parents.
Everyone wants to know that his or her child is loved and wanted. Find one thing good to tell the parents about their child.
