"Love Your Volunteers" Digital Download

If you lead volunteers in a church, you’re called to shepherd them. Volunteers don’t need sermons or theological deep dives—they need to feel cared for, appreciated, and significant.

From prayer prompts to appreciation ideas, this resource is designed to help you connect with your volunteers in meaningful ways, reminding them that their service matters and their growth is valued.
