NOW ENROLLING
THE VOLUNTEER PIPELINE LAB.
Never Beg for Volunteers Again.
If the same few people keep carrying everything, you do not need another volunteer push. You need a better system. This Lab helps pastors build a repeatable process to recruit, place, train, and retain volunteers so ministry stops depending on Sunday service asks or last-minute pressure.
Build a volunteer pathway, clear role descriptions, a recruitment calendar, a first-serve process, and a retention and care plan.
This Lab is for pastors who keep facing recurring volunteer pressure, are tired of asking without building, and want a practical system — not more theory.
Stop rebuilding this problem every month. Build the system.

INCLUDED: In addition to 5 live 1-hour sessions, you’ll get a 30-minute individual session with Gavin to work through your church’s specific challenges.
WHAT YOU'LL BUILD
BY THE END OF 5 WEEKS, YOU'LL HAVE:
→
A Volunteer Pathway — a clear map of how someone goes from first-time attendee to active, trained ministry volunteer.
→
Clear Role Descriptions — documented so volunteers know exactly what they’re signing up for and leaders can recruit with confidence.
→
A Recruitment Calendar — a repeatable, year-round approach to finding volunteers before you’re desperate for them.
→
A First Serve Process — so new volunteers have a great first experience and want to come back the following week.
→
A Retention and Care Plan — because keeping great volunteers is harder than finding them, and most churches have no system for it.
→
Dozens of ideas Gavin has seen and helped implement in churches around the world — ready to adapt to your context.
WHAT TO EXPECT
THIS ISN'T A WEBINAR. IT'S A WORKING LAB.
I work with a select group of churches each month to reduce a specific ministry leadership pressure. Custom, live guided sessions with Gavin — offered digitally. Focused on church- and leadership-specific pressures. Insanely practical — not theoretical — strategy you will actually use.
These 5-week digital cohort experiences provide live, weekly teaching and application, and a one-on-one private session with Gavin. Spots are limited so every session stays focused and interactive.
If you’re ready to trade overwhelm for clarity, burnout for confidence, and pressure for practical strategies that work, a Leadership Lab is for you.
→
Custom, live guided sessions with Gavin — not pre-recorded, not a course library
→
Church-specific focus — every example, every framework, every discussion built for ministry contexts
→
A small group — so you hear how other pastors are solving the same problem in their context
→
One private session with Gavin to work through your church’s specific challenges
→
All sessions recorded — so nothing is lost if you miss a week

WHAT PASTORS SAY
REAL CHURCHES. REAL SYSTESM BUILT
“Working with Gavin the past 8 months has completely changed the way I communicate. His strategy for preparation, and his feedback on sermon delivery has helped me to communicate in a way that is clear, helpful and hopeful.”
Dallas Darnell
Associate Pastor, Encounter Church — Boston, MA
“In just two months, 122 people gave to Centerpoint Church for the very first time, and we added 18 new recurring givers! Working with Gavin on our generosity system gave us a plan to grow giving and fully fund our church.”
Bryant Golden
Senior Pastor, Centerpoint Church — Tampa, FL
“Gavin is one of the best at creating content and teaching others how to create compelling and clear communication. He coached our department heads through a communicator workshop and we all left feeling more equipped and empowered to craft messaging in our contexts.”
Holly Goddard
Director of Ministry Environments, North Point Community Church — Atlanta, GA
“These past few weeks have been so rich. The content is fabulous. It’s new. It’s stuff we’ve never really thought about before. It’s fresh and massively helpful.”
Duncan Banks
Network Director, Further Faster Church Network — UK
QUALIFICATION
SPOTS ARE LIMITED. HERE'S WHO THIS IS FOR.
A small group means every pastor gets real attention. That requires the right fit.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF...
- You're facing recurring volunteer pressure at your church
- You've tried volunteer asks and they haven't produced a pipeline
- You want a practical, repeatable system — not inspiration
- You're a lead pastor or executive pastor who makes strategic decisions
- You can show up live for the five sessions (or watch recordings later)
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF…
- You're looking for a passive course to work through on your own schedule
- You want inspiration without accountability to implement
- You aren't willing to engage actively during the sessions
- You're not the person who will implement the system at your church
