Re:Group Conference Notes: Recruiting and Approving Volunteer Leaders (Breakout #3)

Last month, several members of our church staff attended the Re:Group Conference hosted by North Point Ministries. Over the next several posts, I will share some notes from the conference sessions.

The third breakout session I attended was "Recruiting and Approving Volunteer Leaders" led by Bob Hempen:

Establish the filter: the 4 C's:
Character; Competency; Culture; Chemistry

Character problems can cause problems like no other.

There are higher expectations for leaders. Lifestyle matters.

Setting clear expectations at the beginning makes it easier to deal with issues in the future.

Be willing to say "no" to a potential leader. People may be hurt by "no" but they shouldn't be confused. Don't leave people hanging with unknown expectations or no plan.
