  • Re: Scheduling Volunteers to serve in Children's Ministry

    We are able to have it reflect by using the activity schedule.  We set up an activity schedule for each service, which enables us to select the service time when running the schedule report.   For example.  A volunteer assignment 2 times a month at the 430p service would look like this... Name: Bob Smith Activity: ...

  • Re: Scheduling Volunteers to serve in Children's Ministry

    We schedule volunteers by Weekends.  Our staffing schedules in F1 are Weekend 1, Weekend 2, Weekend 3, Weekend 4, and Every Weekend.  If a volunteer serves two times a month they have two staffing assignments (ex: Weekend 1 and Weekend 3)  We have found that this is the easiest way to track volunteer schedules in fellowship ...

  • Scheduling Volunteers to serve in Children's Ministry

    Hi,  We are currently redoing our children's volunteer scheduling in F1 and I am interested to know how other churches use F1 in scheduling their volunteers for this ministry.  I am also interested in knowing what reports you run to give you a schedule to go by, to know who should be showing up to volunteer this weekend at each ...

  • Silos… The Unspoken Barrier to Ministry

Some of them have been very sophisticated in how they communicate within their ministries but many of them have a real silo issue. When each ministry functions as its own separate ...

  • How Many Volunteers Signed Up Because of our Last 'Push'???

    Posted by Brian Vinson Recently a user asked me if we store the date an assignment was created behind the scenes. If you do not know the answer to that question, it is YES! Below are reports that utilize this field (as a filter, displayed on the report itself, or behind the scenes) if you ever need to see, for example, individuals that ...

  • Volunteer Central

    Quite often when I speak with churches about their volunteers I get some very common responses.  Some of them are not all bad “we love our volunteers”, “we couldn’t have church without our volunteers support”, or “we try and have a volunteer appreciation dinner once a year to show them how much we appreciate what they do”.  ...

  • Would You Hire Someone Without Interviewing Them?

    It is becoming clearer that, with salaries for quality people increasing, the best way to pull off quality weekend services is through the help of volunteers – and not just a few!  In fact, to adequately conduct ministry-based activities throughout the week requires some level of effort from people not on staff. Dedicated (I ...
