Much of the ministry of our church is done by volunteers. Do we do an adequate job of training them? A current resource, So You've Been Asked to…(SYBAT) could help to solve that problem.
So You've Been Asked to… (SYBAT) is a series of 20 booklets that will help to recruit and train volunteers in the congregation.

We recommend this tool in your volunteer ministry. Pricing information can be found at www.FaithAliveResources.org
