The People I Want on my Guest Services Team...

Mark Waltz is on staff at Granger Community Church in Indiana (just down the street from Notre Dame). He says about himself,

I'm one of the pastors at Granger Community Church where my life and role are about people. Specifically helping them connect with each other, and ultimately with God. My comments here will flow out of that pursuit - helping people discover their significant design by God and find real connection with others. Not all my comments will necessarily flow from my role at GCC, but, hopefully they'll flow.

Mark's blog, "...because people matter" always has some great insights. Recently, Mark wrote a series of articles about "People I want on My Guest Services Team." It is a great series. I have provided the links for you below.

Thanks, Mark, for the great articles.

1 - Aligned People: eople who embrace and own our mission to help people take their next step toward Christ... together.

2 - People-People: People who love people.

3 - Marketplace Customers: People who remember their own guest service experiences – both desirable and undesirable.

4 - Image-Savvy People: People who look in the mirror before they leave the house.

5 - Disciplined Conversationalists: People who intuitively know how to carry on a conversation with others without feeling like the conversation has to be all about them.

6 - Excellence Champions: People who see, hear, and feel what's excellent and take initiative to fix what's not.

7 - Optimists: People who see the glass as more than half full.

8 - Servant-Hearted People: People who understand it's not about them; they do what they do to serve - both guests and fellow-teammates.

9 -Interesting People: People who draw others to themselves because they are appropriately interesting.

10 - Missional People: People who reach out to those who are seeking God.
