Why Are Church Volunteers Disappearing?

Ever notice fewer familiar faces helping out at church lately? Turns out, a lot of volunteers are quietly stepping down—and it’s not just about being busy. Burnout, feeling unappreciated, unclear roles, and too much responsibility are driving people away. Plus, younger folks want more flexible, meaningful ways to help. If churches want to keep their programs alive, they need to show more appreciation, communicate better, and make volunteering easier. Have you seen this happening? What would make you want to stick around? #ChurchLife #Volunteering #Community #Religion
