Abstract

The thesis of this dissertation-project is that the church must take care of its essential volunteers in order to obtain and retain a pool of volunteers sufficient for the task of fulfilling its mission and ministry. In order to determine why church members volunteer and how they feel about it, a questionnaire was developed and sent out, follow-up interviews conducted, and tentative conclusions reached. Suggested guidelines and procedures were drawn up and tested. The results of that testing are reported. The conclusion is that volunteers are still available as long as certain criteria are met.
