Working with volunteers can be a rewarding and exciting experience—for them as well as for those who recruit, train, and maintain their services. However, if church leaders are honest, they know there are times that it can be frustrating. They know that volunteers are essential, vital to creating growth and new ministries, and are the key to introducing youth and children to Jesus Christ. They have the welcoming smiles at the door, they serve the food, pray for needs, stuff bulletins, organize missions trips, and on and on. If they want to see their church grow, it must be a volunteering church, a church that runs on volunteers.

The Volunteer Church was developed out of the ministry of Leith Anderson at Wooddale Church in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, where a vital and vibrant volunteer program boasting 4,000 participants grew under the leadership of Jill Fox. The principles and training have been applied in churches of all sizes and denominations in seminar settings across the country as well as at Wooddale Church.

In The Volunteer Church, leaders will

Learn how to effectively recruit and train volunteers
Discover how to build sustainable, long-lasting ministries led by volunteers
Find methods for encouraging and maintaining your volunteers for success
Know how to build teams of volunteers
Understand how to find the right service that fits a willing volunteer

If you lead a church and are exhausted by the lack of volunteer help, or if you are a volunteer and dream of adding numbers to your team, this book is for you. If you are on a church staff and know that a new ministry is needed but volunteers and training are required to make it happen, here you will find the resources to recruit, inspire, train, and maintain the church’s most vital workforce.

Quotes

  • Carlos Martinez Ruizhas quoted5 years ago
    Some will say that this is especially true for men. In many cultures, women socialize around conversation while men socialize around tasks. When lonely men are offered a circle of talk, they may decline; when lonely men are offered a circle of activity, they are likely to accept.
  • Gary Piercehas quoted7 years ago
    the volunteers should be confident that their leaders listen to them and stand up for them and their needs.

    Set a goal of two handwritten thank-you notes a week. In ten years you will be shocked at how many people will have saved and reread your notes.
