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.
