Area Lead

The Win

Create a safe place for volunteers by building relationships, providing leadership, and communicating clearly and regularly about volunteer roles.

Arrive on time and attend the huddle.
Area Leaders should wear the provided ministry t-shirt or lanyard at all times. Part of creating a safe place is being easily recognizable.
Connect with your team after they have checked in. Assign each person to a particular area and communicate any details specific to the weekend.
Be familiar with the building and special events at church. Check out the app and website before the service for any information you may need.
Train new volunteers in your area. Clearly communicate expectations and specifics of the role. Follow these steps when you're training a new volunteer:
- - I do it. You watch.
  - We do it together.
  - You do it. I watch.
  - You do it.
Maintain contact with your team via email, phone call, texts, handwritten notes, etc. Building relationships helps each volunteer feel needed and known.
Identify volunteers who could be future area leaders and work with your Service Lead to begin training them. This helps us be ready as God continues to grow our church and our team.
Ask and include others to serve.
Follow up with volunteers who have missed an opportunity to serve.
Provide feedback on opportunities where we can strive to provide better service to our team or our guests.
