Empowering Christian Leadership

Our number one goal is to provide you with resources that will help you empower your volunteers to grow and glorify God’s Kingdom.

why choose how to keep volunteers

Why choose us?

‘Theories are great but most leadership takes place face-to-face in the daily grind of trying to get stuff done. The fact that it is ‘heavenly stuff’ does not negate the need for down-to-earth skills.  We show you how-to strategies for everyday leadership in the trenches. You won’t find 20,000 ft concepts here, but you can learn how to run a meeting that’s not a snooze-fest. Your volunteers will thank you for it. They will love working with you.

Providing best practices

We are your resource for best practices and creative solutions to grow, mobilize and deploy a dynamic volunteer workforce.

Achieving ministry goals

Recruiting, training and supervising an ever-rotating part-time staff are not easy tasks for anyone in any organization. We offer Biblically-based leadership skills to mentor, coach and nurture volunteers to succeed. When they succeed, you succeed. Why? Because volunteers make a difference! Could you do ministry without them?

Leadership strategies

You invest a lot in your volunteers but it’s also important to invest in seasoned leaders and new up-and-coming leaders. We provide simple how-to strategies in down-to-earth language making them easy to understand and implement. When leaders get better, everybody gets better. Why? Because leaders make a difference! Are you the leader God intended you to be? Let us help you reach your goal.

Does this sound familiar?

You are on fire and full of ideas for your church community.

You’re going to need a large workforce to get it done.

You and your paid staff too often find yourselves exhausted and stressed out.

It feels like you’re operating in crisis mode, winging it or playing
catch up.

How are you going to rally the troops? How do you get everything done?

In the book LEAD STRATEGICALLY Tools For Success In Your Ministry or Mission, you’ll learn how to create a volunteer-friendly environment that increases retention and attracts new volunteers to expand your volunteer base.

We’ve spoken with hundreds of volunteers to find the secrets they wished their leaders knew. Now you can. Your volunteers won’t tell you this to your face because they love you and don’t want to hurt your feelings (even though you occasionally drive them crazy).  But we tell their secrets because we care about them . . . we care about your exhaustion . . .  we care about your SUCCESS. Our mission is to do everything we can to Empower Christian Leadership because leadership makes a difference.

We’re giving you a FREE chapter of the book LEAD STRATEGICALLY to get you started.

Download your Free Chapter:  SKILL #1 – Encourage with Credibility

Even if you have the gift of encouragement, there are at least a dozen reasons why your volunteers aren’t going to believe you!  LEAD STRATEGICALLY will give you the top 9 reasons and how to combat them.

If Volunteers are FREE, why can’t I find more of them?

Volunteers don’t cost a thing. Ah, that’s the myth, isn’t it? If they’re free, where are they when you desperately need more of them? Unfortunately, volunteers are not free. Far from it. I heard one Pastor…
