Churches
Volunteering gives church groups the opportunity to build connections within their local communities, which supports both church members and community members. It is important for leaders in churches to understand the benefits of volunteering and the impact volunteering has when church members are provided with opportunities to give back.
Joining Extreme Community Makeover for a Work Day incorporates volunteerism into your daily culture, while providing the following benefits:
Model a life style of service. Participating in intergenerational service opportunities demonstrates the importance of service for future generations.
Learn about local communities. Getting involved in projects beyond one’s back door broadens knowledge of other people and places throughout the city.
Generate a sense of purpose. Spending time serving others provides a chance to focus on someone or something else.
Strengthen connections with other church members. Volunteering as a group creates camaraderie outside of the church and fosters opportunities to chat, connect and get to know one another better.
