Each and every person who attends our church feels comfort and love, a sense of peace and ease. They can feel and sense the presence of Christ through the conversations and interactions they have with church members and leadership. They understand that being part of the church is more than attending on Sunday. People feel they are in the midst of disciples and have a heartfelt desire to be part of our community.

Don't just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. When God's people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality. (Romans 12:9-13, NLT).

To create a sense that everyone who comes to Saint Anne's Church matters. The ministry's goals are 1.) to greet every person who enters Saint Anne's in a warm and friendly manner, 2.) to provide the most hospitable and welcoming environment for people to worship and fellowship, and 3.) to help guests see our church as a place to call home; a place they are welcomed, encouraged, and can take part in.
