Reinvigorating Volunteer Culture
Recruiting volunteers is never easy; now, it feels nearly impossible. Our team of consultants has heard from our GA Baptist churches:
1. Volunteers are slow to return to serve with long term commitments
2. Volunteers are at critically low levels in age-graded areas
3. Churches are evaluating program sustainability based on volunteers, not mission/vision
Join Scott, PJ, and Ricky Smith, lead pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Columbus, as we discuss volunteers returning in the Fall as part of a natural wave of momentum in the church.
In this broadcast, we will discuss:
- Evaluating program sustainability based on volunteer's capacity.
- How to keep the preschool hall open to be guest-friendly.
- How volunteer culture plays a part in volunteer recruitment at your church
- How to reinvigorate volunteer culture at churches of all sizes
- How volunteering will look going forward in light of covid and the covid variant.
