For this report, I interviewed Dave Drury. He has done some work just on how to get and motivate volunteers. This interviewed was conducted on February 27th.
The best recruiting is multiplying the ministry.
The best way to recruit people is to have the people you recruit, be the recruiters. After a person is recruited, they are then a recruiter in order to multiply the amount of people involved. A person’s time spent recruiting is best when that person that is recruited will get ten more volunteers.
The ratio of people in the church to those involved is very important.
The church has the people that it needs to get done what it is called to. Congregants should be involved in some capacity, one shouldn’t feel bad for getting recruits, we are offering a chance to make an eternal difference.
Making contact.
When a person is recruited, you can give them the responsibility to contact others to find new recruits. Several things that help when making phone calls: stand while calling, leave the office in order to not get distracted and always thank people and make sure they feel appreciated.
In recruiting it is important to stress that the goal is for people to get involved. Laymen should be serving in the church in some capacity. The body is the body when they are contributing. Everyone has a place, so it is important to find where people fit in and what their gifts are. We all play a part in the Body.
