Helping visitors feel welcomed and cared for is a high value at Church of the Resurrection. We are committed to making our follow-up processes as light and non-invasive as possible (while still being committed to following up).  We recognize the courage it takes for someone to come to church for the first time, and so we try to be sensitive, walking that fine line between following-up and something that feels more like stalking.  In this resource you will find the processes we use to follow up as well as the "why" behind them.

The Volunteer Management Practices (VMP) Resource presents a framework of four practices critical for those who desire to lead/manage volunteers successfully. Intentional focus on these four practices – invite, connect, equip, and sustain – will prepare volunteers to have maximum impact in their service role in an engaging and fulfilling way. The VMP resources include a full-color chart that defines and provides examples of each of the four essential practices for leading volunteers in a healthy and sustainable manner, and four videos – one for each of the practices, in which ministry leaders at Church of the Resurrection describe real-life examples of how they live into that particular practice. These resources are excellent for use in training new leaders of volunteers, as skill refreshers for more experienced leaders, or as a reference for leaders who need a brush-up in a particular area.
