We intend to continue to be the single best resource available anywhere for church volunteer leaders. But this is about God’s kingdom, and we want our members to be aware of other resources that might help them identify, equip, and release people into their gifted ministries.
- Live Church Volunteer Central Events
At Church Volunteer Central, we want to provide as many ways as possible to get you the resources you need to do your ministry well. In addition to our online offerings, we're working on an expanded lineup of conferences, summits, workshops and on-site events. Not only does this give you the opportunity to learn directly from experts in equipping ministry, it gives you the ability to network with other association members who are facing the same things you are!

- Member Forum
Our member's forum is an online discussion board where you can interact with other members on the issues you face in volunteer leadership.
- Archived Tips of the Week
Each week we feature a brief volunteer leadership tip on our home page. Some of them are from a publication, but many of them are from our members. Here you will find, brief, practical ideas covering all aspects of lay ministry.
