How to Reignite Volunteer Culture in a Post-Pandemic, Next-Gen Church

Volunteerism is down. Engagement is inconsistent. The church landscape has shifted, and leaders everywhere are feeling the weight. But this isn’t the end of the Church. It’s the refining of it.

In this episode of Crowned for Ministry, Joshua McElhaney dives into what’s really driving the volunteer crisis, why the old models aren’t working, and how leaders can rebuild using the 3H Model: Heart, Head, and Hands.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why volunteer rates have dropped by 50% in just three years
✅ What no longer works in recruiting and retaining volunteers
✅ How to re-engage Millennials and Gen Z with clarity, purpose, and empowerment
✅ Practical strategies to form leaders, not just fill roles

If you’re ready to stop managing decline and start building from formation, this episode is for you.
