The Healthy of Your Volunteer Culture is Mission Critical Does it ever feel like there’s a lack of ownership when people serve at your church? How do you create an experience where your volunteers are excited to be there and make the mission happen? Listen in as Mary Ann offers practical help for shifting your volunteer culture to one of excitement, connection and discipleship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5788e64af5e2316ad3b9a929/1615400055954-Y5LKUMAR4PY7PT3BID05/Yes+You+Can.jpg PODCASTS - YOUR IN-PERSON EXPERIENCE MATTERS NOW MORE THAN EVER Key Takeaways 1) People's first impressions of your in-person service are determined in minutes. 2) Look for the people in your church who seem to get it. And empower them. 3) "At the end of the day, the church needs to be the place we all find refuge and hope." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5788e64af5e2316ad3b9a929/1609347123071-KUCCW8BP4C3WK01VE3E8/MA%2Bw%253ABlack%2BChess.jpg PODCASTS - I say I’m more a cheerleader than a consultant… In the interview, Chris Reinolds engages Mary Ann: “You don’t see the guest services ministry as a throwaway ministry. You don’t see it as a throwaway position. You actually see there’s some intentional value in it, and from the impression I get, you think that some of the best people should be serving in this type of ministry.” http://maryannsibley.com/intro-sofia daily 0.75 2022-02-28 http://maryannsibley.com/home-ready daily 0.75 2023-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5788e64af5e2316ad3b9a929/1646059271078-2OFMPMS5Q6PYQYI08TXD/MS_BonusLaunchImage.png Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573cc03cc2ea51f428cb5dd6/1470092977225-50P98KC41C7C07JVYJV3/image-asset.jpeg Home - Meet Mary Ann Description text.

I’ve been called a ninja, as I work behind the scenes to make you the hero. I embrace both of these descriptions because I’m all about cheering people toward how God made them and what He is calling them to accomplish in building His Kingdom. I believe that working through the small steps is the key to bringing the big vision to life. http://maryannsibley.com/blog2 daily 0.75 2023-01-18 http://maryannsibley.com/services daily 0.75 2022-09-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5788e64af5e2316ad3b9a929/d49ec2e9-c4db-4057-8448-728993b2db9c/Black+%26+White+client+meeting.jpg SERVICES - Individual Coaching Let’s strengthen your leadership skills to help you improve the quality and efficiency of your church's guest service ministry and increase volunteer engagement Mary Ann walks alongside you to help take action with these ideas to spark change in your church community.
