Recruiting, Training, Discipling and Keeping Volunteers
(Leaders of Children & Pre-Teen Ministries)
As the saying goes, “Change is the one thing we can count on”. Sometimes, it seems, the biggest turnover of volunteers happens in children’s ministry. God has entrusted the hearts and souls of His children to you, as well as the volunteers He has placed in the ministry. Jesus didn’t just put the disciples in a room and close the door. He led by example. He served them, nurtured them, coached them and involved them in the “doing” of the ministry. This session will give you proactive strategies to recruit, train and disciple ministry team members that last!
ABC’s of Children’s Ministry
(Leaders of Children & Pre-Teen Ministries – 2 part Training)
So whether or not you applied for the job or your pastor threw you into it, the position you find yourself in was not some random accident or a mistake. God has appointed you! As a personal ministry coach and consultant my goal is to equip you with the tools you need to help you gain confidence and momentum in order to thrive in the ministry God has entrusted to you. This session will help you gain valuable information on how to select curriculum, recruit and develop volunteers, organize schedules and manage flow of service. It will also help you set up check in, attendance, and security procedures, and so much more!
Children’s Ministry Check Up
(Leaders of Children & Pre-Teen Ministries)
Through years of consulting and visiting other churches I have learned valuable lessons on the importance of evaluating children’s ministry from a different perspective. Whether or not its your first day on the job or you are a seasoned veteran this session will challenge you to give your area of responsibility a basic check up and take a fresh new look at the vision, structure and internal operating systems.
Created in Christ to do “Good Works”
(Leaders of Children & Pre-Teen Ministries)
We are not saved by good works, but saved to “do” good works so that God would be glorified as our lives reflect Jesus. God has entrusted the responsibility to those who serve in children’s ministry the role of training up the next generation in the knowledge of who God is through the life-changing message of the Gospel. What you do has eternal ramifications. God’s work in you and through you makes a difference in the life of a child. This session will encourage you as well as remind you that what you do for God matters to Him. If He has called you to it, He will give you everything you need to be successful at it!
Serving Those Who Serve
(General-Leadership and Leaders of Children & Pre-Teen Ministries)
Volunteers are the life-blood of any ministry. People basically serve for two reasons; relationship and relationships. First, they serve because of their relationship with God and second, they desire relationships with other believers. If people do not feel as though they are building friendships and making real connections in your area, they will quickly find another place to serve. This session offers tangible ways to help your volunteers, (Ministry Team Members), feel loved, appreciated and connected to the body as a whole.
