Volunteering: A Guide to Serving in the Body of Christ

Volunteering can be a rewarding and exciting experience—but to effectively serve you need to understand the why, how, and what of serving others. Based on the principles and training they have utilized at Wooddale Church, pastor Leith Anderson and Jill Fox will help you better understand: 

• The importance of prayer in ministry
• Avoiding burnout and serving for the long-term
• Recruiting others to serve in ways that are natural and easy
• Enjoying the ‘pay’ that is more valuable than money
• Finding your fit and serving out of your strengths

This short and accessible book will help you to find the resources you need to be inspired and trained to serve in the most vital workforce in the world today—the church of Jesus Christ.
