Volunteer Development

Unpaid workers in the church, while often the lifeblood of ministry, may not get the proper training and direction they need. This theme helps ministry leaders make the most of their volunteer staff. It teaches leaders how to motivate, train, and encourage people as they serve in volunteer ministry. In an interview, Bruce Bugbee, president of Network Ministries, discusses the importance of calling and that a primary task of leaders is to help people in the church find fulfillment through calling. Church work becomes meaningful by helping people find where they serve best.Table of Contents:Bringing Out Their BestWhat the Bible can teach us about motivating people to minister.Gary WildeThe Right People in the Right PlacesThe solution is not to recruit harder.with Bruce Bugbee3 Myths about Christian ServiceThe misconceptions and the reality of helping people in need.Derek Perkins and Rudy CarrascoIn Pursuit of the Perfect Training5 proven principles from churches that train people well.Te
