Job descriptions are important – and not just for staff…
I’m talking volunteers. For a volunteer to successfully fill a role, that role must be defined. As a church leader, your job is to know what the various ministries of the church need, and how volunteers can help meet those needs. Then you need a job description to help explain it to them, one specifically geared towards volunteers.
There should be a job description for EVERY volunteer position in the church. Not an HR-style multi-page document – the kind that’s designed to prevent a lawsuit as much as it is to give information. Just the opposite. Rather, a single page, or, potentially better yet, a 5” x 8” cardstock with the top 5 things they need to know to “win” in their role. Simple and straightforward. I’ll give an example tomorrow….
