Greeter and Usher Rotation Template

Doors, welcome desk, offering, and the parking team — a month per page, one line per position.

8 sections · 25 numbered lines · no account, no download, no email address

A greeter rotation is the schedule most churches keep in someone's head, which works right up until that person is away. It is also the one visitors experience first: an unstaffed door on a rainy Sunday is the whole welcome, before anyone has said a word.

This sheet lays out a month across the top and the positions down the side, so a gap is a hole in a grid rather than a name you didn't notice was missing.

Arrive 20 minutes before the service. If you cannot make your week, find your own swap and tell the team leader.

Getting it filled

Four things that decide whether it works.

01

Name the doors

"Greeter" tells nobody where to stand. Write the actual doors — main entrance, parking lot side, children's wing — and the rotation staffs the building instead of a job title.

02

Recruit in pairs

Two people at a door talk to visitors; one person at a door checks their phone. Pairs also mean a no-show is a thin door rather than an empty one.

03

Fill the fifth Sunday last

Months with five Sundays are where rotations quietly break. Leave that column until the rest is full, and expect to ask directly.

04

Post it where volunteers pass

The foyer notice board beats email for this audience. Print two: one for the board, one for the person who runs the team.

When paper stops being enough

When the grid gets bigger than a page — two services, eight positions, a season at a time — it stops being a sheet and starts being a job. The online version posts the whole season in one pass and sends the reminder so the team leader doesn't have to.

Keep the sheet. Lose the Thursday phone calls.

A dollar to try the online version for a week. Your volunteers never pay anything.
