What your volunteers most want from your church

Because we think we control more than we do, we hesitate to make bold moves. We fear failure.

The one church-multiple locations concept has seen many expressions throughout church history as church leaders adapted to changing cultural realities and leveraged technological advances.

The more ministry programs and events your church offers, the more volunteers you’ll need. Focused ministry means less competition for people’s time and attention.

When paid staff are doing much of the ministry, they aren’t as motivated to raise up other lay leaders and build volunteer teams.

When you find that you’ve stopped growing, you’ve probably exhausted the capacity of leaders in your organization. Is your staff ready to lead at a higher level? Are your volunteer leaders ready to duplicate their teams with a second leader?

The most effective strategy for moving people forward in their journey of faith is biblical engagement. Not just getting people into the Bible when they’re in church—but helping them engage the Bible on their own outside of church.

Every leader wants healthy volunteers who are reaching their full potential.
