Tools
Church Volunteer Central's Tools are handy, ready-to-use documents to help you recruit, evaluate, track and recognize servants. You can use these documents as is, but we recommend that you customize them according to your church's needs (and any applicable laws in your area.) Each tool is designed as a key element of the volunteer leadership process. The tools are divided into the following types:
Whether it gets sent electronically or through the post office, a letter provides a more permanent record of a discussion than the spoken word. Particularly in areas of potential confusion, or even litigation, a well-written letter can bring clarity to communication. We've offered several letters as a starting point, but we encourage you to tailor them to your specific needs. |
One of the most important keys to retention is recognition of your servants' efforts. (Not to mention its importance as a natural demonstration of Christian love.) One way to do that is through a certificate that a person can continue to look at and gain affirmation from for years to come. Whether it's in recognition of a specific achievement, or just an acknowledgement of ongoing faithful service, a certificate indicates the church went out of its way to recognize a person's service. |
A leader can't make good decisions without having good information. Our assessments section contains surveys that can be taken and evaluated online automatically to give you the information you need. |
No matter how good your training is, questions will arise in people's minds about aspects of serving in your church. A comprehensive handbook will answer those questions. Documenting your policies clearly will also help minimize liability issues when problems arise. It's important to note, though, that from a legal standpoint if you don't train workers on the handbook and enforce its principles, it's worse than not having one at all! |
Whether you love or hate paperwork, the use of clear, simple forms can help organize information and solidify commitments. Feel free to download these forms to your computer and customize them for your church's needs. |
Before you interview your first potential worker, you need to make sure you have thought through and documented your expectations for the task and minister. A good ministry description helps everyone, by making those expectations clear in advance. To make that easier, we've provided hundreds of sample ministry descriptions for you to download and tailor to your specific needs. |
