The Volunteer Playbook Group is a 10-week course designed to help you recruit more volunteers. You’ll be part of a group of ministry leaders who will come together each week as we look to transform our volunteer cultures by:

The Volunteer Playbook Group includes:
This group is for leaders who serve in children’s ministry, youth ministry, or in nextgen/family roles. Everyone who takes the 10-week challenge must commit to do the following:
In case you skimmed past it, I want to highlight that participating in this group requires a significant investment of time. One of the biggest reasons we struggle to recruit volunteers in ministry is because it takes more time than we’re able to give to it. This is especially true if you are working to build your culture from scratch or rebuilding something that isn’t working.
Every week you’ll need to set aside a minimum of 3 hours to do the work:
This group is NOT for everyone. Some examples include:
This isn’t a marketing trick or a ploy, I promise. I’m looking for people who will be all-in to transform their volunteer culture. We need everyone’s best.
The cost is $200 $150/person (special summer rate). A monthly payment option is available, but costs a little more. There are discounts for multiple registrations from the same church or organization. See below for more details.
The group is first-come, first-served, and there are limited spots available in order for the group to best serve everyone involved.
I know that joining the 10-week challenge is a big investment of time and money, so I’ve put together a bonus package to go along with your membership in the group. Everyone who joins will also receive:
“Volunteer recruitment is positively (or negatively) impacted by tons of factors in our churches. This plan is designed to identify every influence and leverage each one to help fuel your volunteer recruitment.”

Prior to the group, I honestly spent an hour a month on recruiting volunteers. Setting aside time each day to work on recruiting has been a game changer.
The Volunteer Playbook gave me tools to navigate and direct our recruiting process to be ongoing, efficient, and effective. The prospect list and onboarding process tools opened up our world to an every day recruiting model.
Since doing this, along with having clear paths for volunteer onboarding, and better communication between myself and our volunteers, our teams have been able to recruit 75% of the total number of volunteers we were seeking! We’ve quit saying, "We need you now," and, instead, are inviting people into a journey.
If you need volunteers (who doesn’t?) the course will fast track and give you access to people, tools and resources you need to build a volunteer culture and help you recruit and retain like never before.
I was overwhelmed with the volunteer needs we had and I was spending very little time on recruitment. After going through the group, I’ve been able to set a little time each week to dedicate to recruiting. The plan gave me a map to execute
I see the Volunteer Playbook as a process and a system I can continue to work. Also, I have a way to recruit while being intentional about not losing touch with our current leaders.
Even if you feel you don't have time to take on something extra, you need to make time. The Volunteer Playbook will set your ministry up for success for years to come.
Payment options are available, however, paying in full saves you 20%.
The Volunteer Playbook is now part of Ministry Boost and is one of many options for leaders in terms of training and coaching. Click here to learn more.
Finding 3+ hours/week for anyone will be difficult, so we totally understand if you can’t set aside the time. If all goes as planned, we’ll offer this again in the future and, hopefully, you’ll be able to take part in it then!
Once a video is released for that week, it is remains viewable going forward, allowing you to catch up at any point or even refer back to videos later on down the road.
Every week, the new video will be posted in the Facebook Group and in the member section of this website.
Yes, every week. Sharpen your #2 pencils…. or just turn on your computer.
Discounts are available for multiple registrations from the same organization, including an unlimited number with the team edition. Please do not share Volunteer Playbook content or access with anyone who does not have a registration.
Yup, you got it. While we could theoretically allow any number of people in each group, the size is limited to allow for adequate coaching, ideal interaction, and the ability for us to manage all of the data and resources that will be shared.
