The Small Church Ministry Podcast 048: “We’ve Always Done It This Way” | Responding To Volunteers Part 3
Dealing with volunteers who aren’t open to new ideas is tough, and no church is immune to this one!
When volunteers only want to do things “the way they’ve always been done,” it often causes division, strained relationships, and missed opportunities. While a leader with a vision may find ways to push forward anyway, oftentimes the newer, creative volunteers give up trying, and might even find another place to take their passion.
In this episode, we’ll talk about:
- The gift behind “we’ve always done it this way”
- How to honor those who’ve been there long enough to say it
- What to do if the ministry leader is the one who doesn’t want change
