Session 2C - Finding Parish Volunteers

Daniel Ferguson, Evangelisation and Outreach Advisor, AEC

Every parish needs volunteers—people ready to respond to God's call and serve His Church. However, volunteers do not simply appear - they must be invited, encouraged, and formed through vision and relationship. 

Drawing on the principles of spiritual multiplication, Daniel will offer practical suggestions for identifying, inviting, feeding, and forming volunteers - not just to fill roles, but to become missionary disciples. As we mark 1700 years since the Nicene Creed first clearly expressed the Church’s belief, this session will reflect on the importance of clarity when calling others to serve. Daniel will also explore succession planning and how to draw people into leadership in a way that is intentional, lasting, and Spirit-led.
