ANTHONY COPPEDGE BLOG ARCHIVE

Church Volunteer Articles
Recruiting, Training & Retaining volunteers is a HUGE part of my heart in ministry. As a result, I talk and write about the subject frequently. Last night I hosted a TokBox session on the subject and gave out some articles where I share my advice and experiences both as a volunteer myself and in leading teams of volunteers.
Here’s the list of links, all complied into one neat blog post:
Volunteering Presentation PDF from WFX
Training Video on properly wrapping cable
Ministry Burn Out (entire series)
7 Steps of Recruiting, Training & Retaining Volunteers
Required Church Field Trip To Starbucks (It’s about the experience)
I hope these articles help you and your ministry!
Promoting the Church Twitter E-Book
![[mail]](rsc/img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
| Categories: Techies, Pastors, Announcements, Communications, B2C, Tech Leadership, Stuff from My Life More often than not I try to share freely from my experiences and give you a lot of useful info, links and content. But for this request, I’m asking for a favor from you.
I’m asking for you to help promote my E-Book “The Reason Your Church Must Twitter” to your friends and peers. You can simply share the link “TwitterForChurches.com” and they can download the E-Book there. Best of all, it’s a ministry-friendly price of only $5 (five bucks)!
Blog about it, Tweet it, or even share the Facebook Group.
Thank you for helping me promote this resource!
Time Away from Tech
I’ll keep this one short (sorta to fit the title, here, ya know?):
Do you NEED tech so much that you get fidgety without it?
If you answered YES to that question, then turn it off for 24 hours. Seriously.
I’m a tech geek and I know that I love the productivity, networking opportunities, relational updates and sheer enjoyment from leveraging technology. None of that is bad! But when I NEED tech & am putting it as a higher priority than it should be, well, it’s past time to turn it off.
Be proactive. Turn tech off regularly and have the ability and discipline to walk away and keep yourself fresh.
Be careful that you’re not making tech an idol.
Time for me to end this blog post and turn off my Mac.

My name is Anthony D. Coppedge. I'm a follower of Jesus and I help ministries leverage technology and communicate with a digitally-infused culture. I'm passionate about this, so that makes me a Technology & Communications Evangelist.

I attend and volunteer at Gateway Church in Southlake, TX and love it!
If I'm not at Gateway during a weekend, it's probably because I'm consulting with other churches across North America. I love what I do!
My consulting with churches is usually (but not always) based either on weekend trips, training staff & volunteers or on projects for technology design or upgrades. Most importantly, I love to equip, challenge and encourage the leaders and volunteers of the churches I'm privileged to work with.
It's not about the tech; it's about the people.
