GA Baptist Discipleship

Recruiting volunteers is never easy; now, it feels nearly impossible. Our team of consultants has heard from our GA Baptist churches:
1. Volunteers are slow to return to serve with long term commitments
2. Volunteers are at critically low levels in age-graded areas
3. Churches are evaluating program sustainability based on volunteers, not mission/vision

Join Scott, PJ, and Ricky Smith, lead pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Columbus, as we discuss volunteers returning in the Fall as part of a natural wave of momentum in the church.

In this broadcast, we will discuss:
- Evaluating program sustainability based on volunteer's capacity.
- How to keep the preschool hall open to be guest-friendly.
- How volunteer culture plays a part in volunteer recruitment at your church
- How to reinvigorate volunteer culture at churches of all sizes
- How volunteering will look going forward in light of covid and the covid variant.

What is GA Baptist Discipleship?

This podcast exists to strengthen churches by resourcing, inspiring, and creating disciple-makers! Discipleship is a life-long process by which a follower of Jesus Christ grows toward Christ-likeness and multiplies the experience. Each week we will broadcast new episodes relevant to your ministry and replicating discipleship.
