Culture of Volunteers

Written by Fred McKinnon on 7/2/2009 – 9:20 am -

I just read an incredible article by Tim Stevens about the culture needed in churches for volunteers.  This quote rocked my world:

It takes a volunteer-centric culture in the entire church, from top to bottom, to build a ministry that is truly focused on plugging people in positions where they are wired by God. Without that, a scarcity mindset takes over and we shift to turf-guarding and silo-building. And that produces frustration, bitterness and cynicism on a church staff–which no one likes to be around.

WOW – how true is that.  Checkout the rest of the article at LeadingSmart.Com.
