Volunteers for teaching Sunday School

by Leslie
(Florida, USA)

I am the Minister of Christian Education and Youth at a local Episcopal church in Florida. I am concerned about the lack of volunteers within our congregation. I am rather new to this position so I am open to any suggestions you might have. I have toyed with the idea of some sort of mandatory time for all people who have children in youth group or Sunday School but I am not sure of that will drive people away. Any thoughts.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

God's peace,
Leslie

I have been teaching Sunday School in an Episcopal church for seventeen years and I can agree that finding volunteers is not easy. I think that it has to be a calling because the volunteer who has come to share God's word often expects a receptive audience and the reality is often something quite different. My only advise would be to engage parishners in the process of finding a good quality program to offer children. If people believe in the program and are passionate about it they are more likely to volunteer.
