I’m not big on pulpit pleas, but I do find a good deal of fruit in volunteer recruitment through a sweeping campaign each year. I do not just accept people on the spot (I’m big on interviewing, conducting personal asks, and placing according to passions and gifts). We use this campaign to educate the congregation about upcoming ministries and make sure new people know there is a great opportunity to serve kids. We allow people to show interest in a particular position and then follow up with them with applications, interviews, and orientations. Here’s what I am doing this year. I have packaged it in a generic fashion so that your church can use almost everything I will be using.

Thanks! I just found your site via links from Tony Kummer's children's ministry e-news. I will soon be taking on a part time role at our church as the Kids Ministry Leader. So your site is now bookmarked and ready to be used.
This is a new area of ministry for me so I sure do appreciate those such as yourself that have compiled free resources—-that is in my budget!

Thanks so much for allowing us to use this. It is really great and has already produced some people that our team had not considered.
THANKS!!
