I need to hear from those of you in Children’s Ministry and those of you at my church.
I need to hold an informational meeting/training for everyone who plans to be either a large group or small group leader (for our Preschool and Children’s Ministries) in the fall. I’m trying to determine the best time to hold this meeting. We are transitioning to a new worship schedule on August 23rd which changes the way we do just about everything. Here are my major questions:
1. How do I help volunteers understand the urgency of attending this particular meeting?
2. When is the best time to meet? (before school lets out, summer, multiple opportunities)
3. What are the MOST IMPORTANT areas to cover in this meeting training? (compared to things that could be written, communicated through email, etc.)
4. Can a video/podcast training effectively take the place of these kinds of meetings? Has anyone successfully implemented podcast training?
I’d love to hear from you! Thanks!
