First Impressions

At Skycrest, we want our first impressions to reflect Christ’s love and character. We are called to kindness, love, and understanding in our interactions with people. These first impressions can pave the way for deeper relationships that are impactful and meaningful over time.

They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression—and that’s especially true at church.

At Skycrest Community Church, our First Impressions Team plays a vital role in our mission to Make Friends, Meet Needs, and Make Disciples. This team is the front line of hospitality. Before a guest ever hears a sermon or sings a worship song, they experience the love of Christ through a smile, a handshake, or a friendly “We’re glad you’re here.”

Why First Impressions Are a Big Deal

For many, visiting a church for the first time can be intimidating. Will I be welcomed? Will I know where to go? Will I feel out of place?

The First Impressions Team helps answer those questions with warmth and grace. Your kindness helps remove barriers and makes space for people to experience God in a powerful way.
