Week Seven – Motivating Volunteers – David

Motivating Volunteers
Brookhaven Wesleyan Church
I interviewed Pastor John Walton the assistant pastor
March 9, 2009

1. Lead by example: do not ask them to do something you are not willing to do
2. Be practical with your expectations: do not expect them to do everything
3. Have clear communication: clearly state the job you want them to do
4. Give reasonable expectations (time commitments): how much, how often… build a rotation
5. Give positive affirmation and feedback
6. It depends on who you ask and how you ask it…. Pray for whom it is you should ask.
