Four Reasons People Are Not Volunteering and What To Do

This Ministry Architects post by The Rev’d Rob Dyer is spot on in its description and discussion about the challenges of finding Volunteers for ministries. For many formation ministries prior to the pandemic volunteers were difficult to come by, now they are even more scarce than before. In Four Reasons People Are Not Volunteering and What To Do, there are some concrete examples of things we have all heard and suggestions about how to approach the changing landscape of volunteer availability. Some of these suggestions may push congregations to rethink the scope of some of their ministries, but the post is worth the read to get some ideas on how to handle the “The Great Resignation” as it is being called.
