020: Yes, You Can Fire A Volunteer (But You Might Want To Do This Instead)

I’ve heard people say you can’t fire a volunteer, but it’s not true. 

You can totally fire a volunteer. 

You can fire them nicely or not nicely. You can fire them directly or cause them so much discomfort that they quit (which, by the way, is an indirect way to fire someone). 

But all these scenarios have the potential to hurt feelings and damage relationships. 

If you’re looking for a better way to remove a volunteer from a position in your small church and turn a stressful situation into a beautiful opportunity, listen in. 

Today we’ll be talking about …

• The top reasons volunteers fail and how to help them succeed instead
• How church culture may have contributed to the unhappy situation you’re both in
• Why going slower than you think will be better for your ministry
• How to turn a volunteer “firing” into a beautiful restart for your ministry
