I\u2019ve been in some level of family ministry for over 20 years. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in all that time, there\u2019s one statement I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve heard anyone say, \u201cWe have so many volunteers I really hope no one else wants to serve!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact of the matter is that most student ministries are always looking for ways to recruit volunteers and retain<\/a> the ones that we already have.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Recruit Volunteers From The Stage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the easiest thing to do is say that we need more stage time, or wish the senior leader would talk about the needs of kid and student ministry every week, the reality is that mass cattle calls don\u2019t yield the best results of dedicated, consistent, and called leaders for our ministries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it helps reinforce your message \u2014 but it won’t solve your problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the cattle call from the stage isn\u2019t the answer, we wanted to give you a few suggestions that might help with recruiting.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Meet New People<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start with the ministry leader. There have been seasons in ministry where I spent much of my time in rooms serving kids and students instead of meeting other students and adults that could serve kids and students. This was a huge mistake! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensure that ministry leaders and key volunteers are available to meet new people each week by being present in heavy traffic areas before and after worship services. Make it a goal that when you\u2019re in these areas you\u2019re meeting a few new people each week and getting to informally engage with the few people you\u2019ve met over the last month. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After engaging them for several weeks, ask them to coffee, get to know them better, and listen for ways and opportunities to plug them into ministry. Sometimes you\u2019ll be able to plug them into your ministry and sometimes you won\u2019t. But it\u2019s a genuine well-planted seed either way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Make the Ministry Visible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Help your team members make the ministry visible by giving them tools to invite their friends to serve with them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empower people that are already serving to share their stories of impact with those they are in relationship with already and bring them along on the journey of being a small group leader, hall host, or storyteller. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like eating at a new restaurant or trying out a new store, people are more likely to participate in something that is already receiving great reviews from someone they know and trust.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Rally a Recruiting Team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Establish a recruiting team. There are people in every congregation that love kid and student ministry but have a myriad of reasons why they can\u2019t serve on Sundays. Some of these people might also be well connected within your congregation and have a niche for getting others involved. These are the people you want on your recruiting team. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rally them together to relay vision and opportunities. Provide them with resources to start conversations within their spheres of influence and then allow them to work the relationships they have within the congregation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This expands the reach of the ministry beyond those who are serving on Sunday to those that are mingling with the other adults you need that are sitting in the congregation. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Set Volunteers Up to Win<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Develop a clear onboarding process that initiates relationship, takes safety seriously, and equips new volunteers to be successful. These three things say to your newest volunteer that you take them and the ministry seriously and you are setting them up to win. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nobody is interested in being a part of a ship that is sinking. Consider making interviews, volunteer applications, and background checks part of your onboarding process. Listen carefully during the discussion over coffee to the person\u2019s personality and areas of passion. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connect them with a ministry veteran that will be a good personality match and that is already serving in the role that the new volunteer will be joining. Do everything you can to set them up to win and build new relationships while they are doing it. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first four to six times that they serve, check in with them, find out how it is going, and be available to answer any questions that have come up. Provide them feedback and make sure they move from \u201cthe new volunteer\u201d to being an expected and contributing member of the team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Focus on Retaining Over Recruiting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest sinkers to recruiting ministry workers is not retaining the ones that God has sent. While instituting the above recruiting strategies will help get people in the door, the door will be constantly revolving if retaining strategies and techniques are not in place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Thing, Stop Trying To Do It All<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally\u2014recruiting and engaging volunteers is work! It takes time. It’s one reason I suggest you not try and do it all. A curriculum as comprehensive as Orange<\/a> allows you to actually<\/em> spend your time where it matters most. You’ll set a foundation that will not only allow you to recruit volunteers, but invest in them, train them, and keep them for the long haul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, you got this \u2014 and we’re cheering you on! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
