017: 3 Quick Wins Plus 2 Long-Term Strategies To Get More Volunteers In Children’s Ministry

If you’re looking for more volunteers for your children’s ministry, you aren’t alone. Children’s ministry takes many hands, even if you have only a handful of kiddos. An additional challenge facing staffing in small churches is the inconsistent number of children and the mixed-age factor. One week could require a fully-staffed nursery and an extra volunteer in Sunday school, while in another week you find yourself fully staffed, but no kids show up. It seems impossible to predict who you’ll need and when and difficult to recruit a staff when the needs vary not only by the season but by the week with little predictability. Join me in this episode to learn …A few unexpected quick wins to add a few more volunteers to your rosterSome long-term strategies to work toward building a committed team for the futureWhy taking better care of your current volunteers needs to move up on your priority listOne common (but often overlooked) reason your recruiting methods might not be workingAnd if you just read that description, and you’re thinking, “Team? I wish! It’s just me!” … don’t worry, I get it. There’s plenty of gold in this episode for you too! Again, you’re not alone. Tons of small churches are just like yours, with one or two people holding down the fort.
