Hey, it’s Brady,

Even good churches can lose great volunteers when small cracks go unchecked.

Here are three common red flags that drive church volunteers away:

Red Flag #1: Public Frustration During Tech or Timing Slip-Ups

If your team can’t rely on your composure, they can’t rely on your leadership.

And downstream from a dysfunctional leader is poor volunteer retention.

Red Flag #2: Chronic Lateness or “We’ll Figure It Out” Chaos

Disorganization signals disrespect for people’s time.

Volunteers will disengage if things always feel last-minute.

Red Flag #3: Critique Without Care

When “excellence” becomes more important than people, hearts harden.
