Volunteer Management for Churches and Large Events: Handbook for Volunteer Coordinators - Paperback

This book shares the how's of recruiting, training, and engaging volunteers for church ministries and also for when a church wants to conduct a large event. Many church leaders can remember certain seasons when they have felt the weight of the ministry bearing down on them so heavily that they wondered if they were going to collapse from emotional, physical, and spiritual exhaustion. Too often, they find themselves engaged in certain ministry functions, knowing if they stepped away for any length of time the ministry function would fail. They sometimes find themselves feeling like they're the circus entertainer frantically spinning all the plates, hoping none will fall. If you are this person or know your church leadership struggles with these problems then this is the book to read. The lessons in this book will: help minimize volunteer attrition, help with volunteer recruitment, provide biblical conflict management, provide tips for honoring volunteers, provide job descriptions for key volunteer positions for events, and as a bonus gives insights into how to work with volunteers during a pandemic. Quality volunteer management is a must in any church. Volunteers are ministers who need to be led and mentored. Having a vibrant volunteer culture will help every church accomplish its goals without exhausting and burning out the church leadership team.
