The Proper Care and Feeding of Church Volunteers: A Practical Guide for Volunteer Leaders (Pastoral Ministry Series) by Gary A. Petri

The Proper Care and Feeding of Church Volunteers is a practical guide for all who have responsibility for any volunteer group. This resource does not teach people "how to be" a lector, usher, greeter, etc., but rather focuses on the supervisory skills that group leaders need if they are to be successful.Gary Petri examines various aspects of leadership, including recruitment, training, communication, and supervision. He includes helpful suggestions on handling "problem cases," and also explores the spirituality of leadership and volunteer work.
