6. Give Children ‘Invite Cards’ on a Regular Basis.
Encourage children to live out the great commission by inviting their friends, school mates, team members, etc. to come to church with them so they can hear the Gospel. If you will consistently emphasize this, you will see kids bringing guests on a regular basis.
7. Do You Want Team Members To Show up for Your Pre-Service Huddle?
Let new volunteers know that you have a pre-service huddle each week and part of their “job description” is to be at this meeting.
I know it can be a struggle at time to get volunteers to show up for the huddle. But if you set the expectation up front, you will see them attend. Then work on getting your veteran volunteers to attend.
8. Create a Monthly ‘Kid-Connect’ Paper for Your Volunteers.
Include things that are relevant and popular with children. What movies are they watching? What video games do they like? What TV series are they into? What songs are the most popular with them?
Your volunteers can use these as talking points with the children before service starts.
9. Start a Private Facebook Group for Your Volunteers.
Use this to help encourage, equip and stay in touch with your volunteers.
10. A Few Times a Year, Have the Children Help Lead the Adult Service.
They can help lead worship, pray for the offering, give a testimony, read a passage of Scripture, etc.
