Strategy for Volunteer Engagement - Episode 355

Most churches say they need more volunteers. But answer this honestly: What is your theology of serving? How well is your church discipling people to offer their spiritual gifts as part of the Great Commission? Many churches have gotten further away from viewing serving as an integral part of spiritual formation than they'd likely admit. In this series, Tony and Amy and special guests will share best practices on the strategy side of engaging people in serving, as well as critical elements of team-building and structure to engage more people using their gifts in the mission of your church.  In the first episode, they unpack the strategy mistakes churches are often making that inhibit a strong volunteer engagement culture.   This episode is brought to you by Planning Center: An all-in-one software to help you organize your ministries and care for your church.
