The Volunteer Everyone Wants

Like what you’ve heard or have questions? Send us a message.. Every ministry leader knows the kind of volunteer they wish they had more of the one who shows up, jumps in, takes ownership, stays teachable, and genuinely cares about the mission. In this episode, we’re talking about “The Volunteer Everyone Wants.” What separates a great volunteer from someone who simply fills a position? We’ll look at qualities like dependability, initiative, preparation, teachability, teamwork, spiritual maturity, and a genuine love for the children and families we serve. But this conversation isn’t just about building a wish list for our volunteer teams. We’re also turning the question back on ourselves: Are we the kind of people we would want serving on our team? And as leaders, are we creating a culture that recognizes potential, develops people, and helps ordinary volunteers become extraordinary ministers? Great volunteers don’t always walk through the door ready-made. Sometimes, they’re developed and great leaders learn how to see what someone can become. Support the show
