Have you listened to Bonus Episode Part 1: O May Not Duty Seem a Load?
Did the reverends challenge your thinking about volunteerism in the church?
- I share a lot of their thoughts. We don’t really use the word “volunteers” at our church.
- How do you describe them if you don’t use the word “volunteer” Pastor Pat Damiani? Thanks for listening and sharing!

Kristen Tetteh we believe that according to Ephesians 4:11-16, every member is a minister. We really don't use titles a lot. We simply refer to those who are serving as a member of a ministry team. We feel like that communicates a much higher degree of expectations than someone who is merely a "volunteer". The term "volunteer" also communicates that service is optional.
