Churches are many things – religious institutions, places for religious worship, architectural buildings… Churches are also a place of community. Volunteers are integral to the daily functioning of churches and the experience of how church happens.
A search for books about church volunteers often produces a list of books about how to recruit and engage church volunteers. There’s also an occasional book about how to thank volunteers. This book is different: it celebrates church volunteers, providing a sociological glimpse – through photographs – into the world of church volunteers. Rejoice: Celebrating Church Volunteers – A photographic journey (author: Kim Burkhardt) portrays a number of the crucial ways in which volunteers make church happen.
Honor the church volunteers you know – parishioners, friends, relatives – by ordering them a copy of this book. A relevant gift for church volunteers!

What pastors are saying about this book:
“Volunteers are the life blood of the church. No service institution or organization can survive without them. Volunteers get the most satisfaction from their church work when they believe that they are serving the mission of Jesus in the world. The more that the ministry is helping them grow in their own spiritual lives, the more fulfilling they will find it.”
Father John Madigan, Priest, Seattle, Washington
“Parish volunteers are the ‘glue’ that holds it all together. Without their dedication and presence, it [i.e., churches] would all come tumbling down! Volunteers are the ones who go the extra mile without counting the cost. They put into practice the gospel for us; quietly, faithfully.”
Father Tim Clark, Priest, Seattle, Washington
