Guest Experience Supervisor

Sandals Church • Riverside, CA

5d • Onsite

About The Position

The Guest Experience Supervisor at Sandals Church Hunter Park is a hospitality specialist who leads, trains, and inspires the volunteer Guest Services team to deliver an excellent, Christ-centered weekend experience that moves guests to want to connect. This role personally owns execution of the Relational Intake Framework at the front door and partners closely with the Connections Team to ensure guests move smoothly from “the Handshake” into “the Pathway.” The primary objective is to build and lead a healthy, high-energy volunteer Guest Services team that delivers an excellent first impression every weekend, and to own the front-door intake process that connects guests to the right next step — information, exploration, or belonging. This role is a direct lever on two of the three 2026 priorities: hospitality quality shapes whether new Saturday night guests return (Priority 1), and the Relational Intake Framework's Tier 2/3 hand-off is a literal front door into the discipleship pipeline (Priority 3).
