Volunteer Church

Church leaders know that volunteers are the church’s most vital work force; in The Volunteer Church, Leith Anderson and Jill Fox offer guidance to church leaders on how best to minister to these essential workers, and provide a complete handbook for them to recruit, inspire, train, and maintain volunteers in congregations large or small.

This book is perfect for anyone who manages the day-to-...
