WHY I CREATED THIS COURSE

Most churches don’t struggle because

they don’t care about guests.

They struggle because they don’t have a clear framework for

building and leading volunteer teams well.

Without clarity, things slowly drift.

Volunteers start going through the motions.
Expectations become unclear.
Leaders carry too much responsibility.
And Sundays begin to feel like survival instead of ministry.

But when volunteers understand why they serve, and when leaders provide clear structure and ownership, something powerful happens.

People begin to serve with energy, purpose, and consistency.

That’s what this framework is designed to help you build.

What You'll Learn Inside

the 3 Modules

MODULE 01 — Vision Creates Culture

Learn how to define a simple, compelling vision that shapes the culture of your entire guest

experience. Once the vision is set determine clear and memorable values that define the qualities of your team and the why behind your serving.

You'll walk away with clarity that energizes your team and sets the tone for every Sunday.

MODULE 02 — Building a Connections Team

Discover the essential roles every church needs—Parking Team, Greeters, Ushers, Coordinators, and Next Steps Hosts—and how each one contributes to a seamless Sunday experience.

You'll learn how to clearly define each role, grow sustainably, and recruit the right volunteers in a relational, effective way. Also determine how to recruit the right volunteers so the team can thrive.

*Included is the fully editable Connections Team Roles & Responsibilities Resource

MODULE 03 — Leading & Encouraging Volunteers

You don't need to manage volunteers—you need to shepherd them.

This module gives you practical rhythms for inspiring, encouraging, and empowering your team so

they stay committed and thrive in their roles. Encouraged and Celebrated Volunteers stick around.

If You Want Your Church to Grow, You Need a Clear Pathway for Connection.

From Friendly to

Intentional

Most churches are welcoming. Smiles, handshakes, and hellos matter — but without direction, guests often leave unsure of what to do next. Growth happens when hospitality is paired with intentional next steps that are easy to see and simple to take

From Guests to

Belonging

Most pastors want first-time guests to return. But people don’t come back because of a service alone — they return when they begin to belong. Clear pathways help guests move from observing to participating, from sitting in a row to finding a circle.

From Help Needed to

People Empowered

Most leaders want volunteers, but people don’t want to feel used — they want to feel called. When your church has a clear connection process, serving becomes an on-ramp to purpose, not a last-minute ask from the stage.

But without a clear plan and a Connections Team dedicated to guests, Sundays can feel scattered, volunteers

burn out, guests slip through the cracks, and pastors are left feeling overwhelmed..

It doesn't have to be that way.

A thriving Connections Team can transform your church's culture— not through hype, but through intentional, simple systems that work. That is our heart!

This mini-course shows you exactly how to build that team to equip you and your church to become The Connected Church without hiring a new staff member, designing it yourself, or spending hours creating documents to print.

Meet Your Guide: Dustin Dozier

Dustin has a deep love for the local church and a heart for the leaders who serve it. With years of experience in guest services, systems building, and multi-campus leadership, he understands both the beauty and the burden of ministry.

He currently oversees a team of 400+ volunteers across 10 different locations and has helped create environments where guests feel connected, volunteers feel empowered,

and churches grow in health.

He created The Connected Church Co. to walk with pastors who want to see their

people connected, their teams strengthened, and their ministries became more effective and sustainable.

"Dustin's mission isn't to give you more to do—it's to make what you're already doing easier, clearer, and more fruitful."
