Thank you for serving as a Host in City First Church Online. We could not facilitate this opportunity to reach a new audience without your help. Whether the experience you host is attended by 2, 200, or 2000 people, remember that EACH PERSON matters and you have the opportunity to make an eternal impact.

Here are some general guidelines for hosting a City First Church Online Experience.

For further assistance, please contact Caden DeWeerdt at caden.deweerdt@cityfirst.church or (815) 558-7949.

HOST GUIDELINES/SCRIPT
------------------------------------

Join the chat 5 minutes before service and welcome Guests at the very beginning of the experience.
Welcome to City First Church! My name is HOSTNAME, and I'll be your host today. Go ahead and introduce yourself and let us know where you're watching from.
------------------------------------
Welcome Guests as they join the chat.
Try and be quick with welcoming guests. The quicker we can engage them, the more likely they'll stay in the chat and engage with us.
------------------------------------
After the Greeting, encourage people to use the reactions.
If you see/hear anything that you like, love, or want to AMEN, click the heart icon on the right of the video to let us know.
------------------------------------
Keep conversations moving.
------------------------------------
Turn off Automatic Slide Push & Push slides according to what's happening in service.
- When there isn't a relevant slide to what's happening, use the App slide as the default slide
- Beginning of service - Welcome to City First Church slide
- Worship - Spotify playlist slide
- Offering - Text to give slide
- Announcement - Announcement slides (ie: New series, Original, etc)
- Altar call - Salvation/Raise your hand slide
- After altar call - New Believer's resource slide
------------------------------------
During the message, let people know they can follow the notes.
If you'd like to follow along with the notes, click the NOTES tab below the chat or use the City First Church App.
------------------------------------
If needed, mute Guests that may disrupt or distract from the experience.
------------------------------------
Keep an eye out for prayer requests and private chats.
Do your best to hear people and pray for them in the chat. Don't feel like you have to have all of the answers. You can encourage people to email prayer@cityfirst.church for additional prayer or connect@cityfirst.church to talk with someone.
------------------------------------
Remember, you represent City First Church - we LOVE God, LOVE People and LOVE Life!

------------------------------------

After Service

After the services you host, please post any wins or prayer requests in the #hostchat on Slack so that as a team, we can celebrate and join together in prayer!
