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.
