200 New People in 1 Week Signed up to Serve!

Check out how this church got over 200 new team members in one weekend:


Last weekend, we signed up over 200 new volunteers for our children's ministry.  Want to know how?

It wasn't from a pulpit announcement.
It wasn't from an ad in the bulletin.
It wasn't from a tear jerking video during the service.
It wasn't from a live testimony during the service.

So how did we do it?

Personal, 1-1 invites.  Every one of those 200 new volunteers were personally asked if they would join the team.  Our staff and volunteers simply got out among the people and made the ask.

Were we desperate?  Yes.  You see we were just about to launch two new services and needed a ton of new volunteers to make it happen.  So we went with the most effective, proven method of building a volunteer team.  Individual asks.

If you need more volunteers (which you and I always will), go with what works.  1-1 invites.
