Shar McBee, author of To Lead Is To Serve, says, "Others may promote you, elect you, or appoint you to a position of leadership. Only YOU can make yourself a true leader." In our churches, we often place people in positions of leadership based upon their passion for a ministry-without considering their leadership skills. Fortunately, as people discover their strengths and weaknesses, and how those affect their leadership, their skills improve.
We're excited to announce Who Am I As A Leader?, the first resource in our new Church Volunteer Central Training Series. This book and the CD-ROM that comes with it will give you everything you need to conduct a leadership discovery workshop at your own church that will help people develop as leaders and individuals, and come together as a team. See this month's Association Updates for more information .
Remember: Ephesians 4:11 doesn't say that it's the job of church leaders to recruit people for ministry. It says we are to equip people for ministry.

"Church Volunteer Central has been very instrumental in guiding our team and helping us to begin the process of building an equipping ministry. I have spent many hours searching for ideas and printing example forms. I don’t know what I would have done without the help of Church Volunteer Central."

"I've spent the last year putting together a core team to help me with the assimilation process of new members at my church. We've created new systems, restructured the connection process, and have experienced many blessings. Now, a year later, the team is starting to fizzle and I'm afraid I'm going to lose everyone and will have to start over to find and train new team members. What can I do so I don't lose the progress it's taken me a year to achieve?"
