Church Media Team Volunteer Burnout

Along the lines of my last post.  How many times have you gotten just burned out as a volunteer?  It’s happened all too often to me.  I guess I brought this on myself by my desire to get involved in the first place, but now I get phone calls from church staff members telling me what I need to do.  I love the staff, they’re great people, but they need to understand that this is not my job.  I don’t get paid to do what I do, I’m a volunteer!

If I had the time, I would love to create graphics, videos etc. every week, run powerpoint and audio for all those little events that happen each week, but it’s just not possible.

If you’re a church staff member or pastor and you’re reading this, please make sure you consider that your tech volunteers are just that: VOLUNTEERS.  They most likely love to help you out, but can’t always do what you’d like them to do.

More churches need to consider hiring technical people.
