Volunteers Zone

Simple and inexpensive way to let your volunteers know you appreciate them.

This is the application I use with all my volunteers in my Children's ministry.

Create a room for your kids ministry volunteers to get a few refreshments before or after their scheduled time to serve. This not only gives them a place to get to know other volunteers in the kids ministry, gives them natural things like food and drinks, but it shows them that you're thinking about them. I guarantee it'll be the talk of the church.

Just a way to show our volunteers that we love them!
