Children’s ministry volunteers are truly incredible people. Each week, they help the kids in your children’s ministry grow closer to Jesus. Whether they’re prepping a snack, teaching the Bible story, or helping with your check-in, your volunteers serve an important role in your ministry.
Leading volunteers isn’t just about inviting a group of people to serve a couple of times a month. You’ll also need to make sure your volunteer team has the resources, tools, and training to be the best volunteers for your children’s ministry.
One of the best ways to equip your volunteer team is to hold regular meetings throughout the year. These volunteer meetings are only part of a complete volunteer strategy (steal ours if you need one!), and we want to help. So, we put together some free Volunteer Meeting Guides for your children’s ministry!
Creating something your volunteers want to attend is key to great volunteer meetings. That means they should be more than a time to just talk to your volunteers. You should also help them discuss ideas, have fun, and eat good food.
But where do you start? There are all sorts of reasons for meeting with your team, and we’ve put together meeting guides for a few of them. Our free Volunteer Meeting Guides include helpful outlines for…
- Weekly Huddles
- New Volunteer Orientation
- Safety & Reporting Guidelines
- Navigating Transitions in Ministry
- The Grow Strategy
Each meeting guide is filled with information to help you lead a meeting from start to finish. You’ll find instructions for discussion & preparation, talking points, and a teaching outline of our annual strategy.
The best part? Everything is completely editable. You can adapt each meeting guide to fit your vision for your ministry and your volunteers. With these free Volunteer Meeting Guides, you’ll get the tools you need to help support your volunteer team all year.
