Leading Volunteers

By

How to Invite and Support a Volunteer:

1.  Share the vision

2.  Share where you see them fitting into the vision

3.  Give them a time frame to test it out & evaluate

Supporting Volunteers:

There are 3 things every volunteer wants more than money:

1.  To be appreciated for a job well done

2.  To be let in on the “inside scoop” with new developments

3.  To have a leader who knows their personal problems and cares for them.

Mentoring Volunteers:

3 ways to mentor volunteers:

1.  Offer and help them to get further training in their ministry

2.  Offer constructive feedback and reflection on their work

3.  Brainstorm together new ways to improve a ministry or new ideas to try.

Rev. Michael Caines

I live to answer the question: “So how did you go from civil engineering to becoming a priest??” I have been here since 2008 when I arrived as the assistant. Since 2012 I have been leading the church as the Priest-in-Charge, and now as the full-time Lead Pastor. I grew up in Sussex, N.B. and then studied Civil Engineering at UNB Fredericton. After a brief period in youth ministry my wife and I moved to Uganda to teach and work at an Anglican Secondary School. After that, I studied at Wycliffe College in Toronto, ON and was ordained in 2008. I served with the Naval Reserve for a number of years but now as the Chaplain for 3 Field Artillery Regiment in Saint John and Woodstock, N.B. I love the outdoors and in my down time I enjoy running, sailing and playing music, but most importantly, time with my family.
