Across the nation, most of the people working in children's ministry are parents and grandparents. Teens and twentysomethings are notoriously absent, not only from children's ministry, but from ministry in general. Could this be because—like automakers that discovered the median car-buyer was 50 years old—we've missed the younger audience with our recruiting efforts? Learning what central values are important to the next generation will help your church develop a recruiting strategy that attracts the young as well as old into your children's ministry.
This tool is adapted from "Find and Keep Next Gen Volunteers," a PromiseLand Conference workshop by Amy Dolan. PromiseLand is a ministry of the Willow Creek Association.
This Training Pack contains all of the following:
The Necessity of CommunityThe next gen is more rooted in relationships than were prior generations. Amy Dolan
Longing to Make a DifferenceWhat keeps next gen volunteers going? Knowing they made a difference. Amy Dolan
Authenticity or Bust Exaggeration and unkept promises are the quickest way to turn off a next gen volunteer. Amy Dolan
Involving Recruits Versus Inviting ThemYour ministry is experiential and interactive, but is your recruitment? Amy Dolan
