This week Tim Beilharz and fellow Youthworks Advisor, Adam Jolliffe, jump into the critical topic of recruitment for youth and children's ministry in local churches. They discuss the importance of having a sufficient number of leaders for effective ministry and discipline and share insights on the 'why' behind recruitment, emphasising the need to effectively communicate the purpose and benefits to potential volunteers.
The conversation covers strategic approaches to asking, including starting with why, understanding the importance of timing, and ensuring clarity on what roles entail. They highlight the significance of character, conviction, competency, capacity, and chemistry in potential leaders, while also suggesting practical tips for making recruitment asks with intention, hope, thoughtfulness, deliberation, and grace.
Additionally, they touch on the importance of prayer in the recruitment process and maintaining high standards for volunteer training, particularly in safe ministry practices. The episode offers valuable guidance for church leaders looking to enhance their recruitment strategies to build effective youth and children's ministries.
