Summary:Brian Dollar joins the Lead Volunteers podcast to discuss the importance of building teams in ministry. He emphasizes that everything is better in teams and that ministry should never be done alone. Brian shares how his church has made building teams a core value and the process they use to recruit and train volunteers. He also highlights the biblical basis for teamwork and the long-term benefits of investing in others. Key Takeaways: Building teams is a biblical principle and essential for the long-term success of a ministry. Core values should reflect what a church truly values and not just be empty words on a wall. The process of recruiting and training volunteers should involve clear communication, personal contact, and shadowing experienced team members. Serving alongside others in ministry deepens relationships and creates a sense of fulfillment and camaraderie. The long game is the only game to play in ministry, as it allows for the development of strong teams and lasting impact. Quotes: "You can't call it a core value unless you value it." - Brian Dollar "If you want something to last, do it together." - Brian Dollar "Building teams is not just about making ministry easier, but about making it more fruitful, biblical, and fulfilling." - Brian Dollar We hope you enjoy episode 207 of the Lead Volunteers Podcast and share it with a ministry leader you know who may find this beneficial for their ministry context!
