RELEVANT CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

This past weekend, we signed up lots of new volunteers.  How did we do it?

First, we decided to honor all our current volunteers.  There were several ways we did this.

We put up "thank you signs" across the campuses.



We also gave each volunteer an appreciation gift.  In addition, we recognized volunteers during the worship service.


Secondly, the Pastor talked about the value of serving.  When you're intentional about creating a church-wide culture of volunteerism, people will grasp the importance and jump in.

Thirdly, we invited people to begin serving.  We had areas set up across the campuses where people could stop and sign-up.  Staff and volunteers were there inviting people to join a serving team.



Lots of people said, "Yes...I'm ready to start serving."

This week, we will follow up with the people who signed up and help them take their next step.

People are willing to serve.  They are simply waiting for you to make the ask. 

Tired of hearing "no" when you ask people to volunteer?  It's not because people don't want to volunteer.

Recent stats from Gallup show that volunteerism is on the rise in churches.



If this is true, then you may be thinking, "Then why can't I get enough volunteers?"  One answer might be how you are asking.

Here's some help.  This post will give you 10 simple secrets that will turn more of those "no's" into "yes."

People do want to volunteer and you can build a great volunteer team.  Believing with you for great things.
