Equipping the Church Podcast

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

    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.
