The Small Church Ministry Podcast 221: Mistake #6: Recruiting (Yep, Just Stop It) | Church Volunteer Series
In Mistake #6 of Stop Doing This to Volunteers: Top Mistakes Our Churches Are Making, we rethink recruitment altogether. Instead of building programs and then scrambling to fill roles, what if our people shaped our ministry?
This episode explores the difference between recruiting and developing - and why unique churches grow when we build around the gifts already in the room.
In this episode, we cover:
- The difference between recruiting to fill roles and developing people over time
- Why cookie-cutter ministry models keep us stuck
- How to let the people God brings determine the direction of your ministry
- Why development builds long-term health (and recruiting often protects our programs)
