Creating Space That Works~The Volunteer Center

DSC_0295-1

The Volunteer Center at Lake Pointe Church in Dallas is an awesome space. Its location right off the main lobby makes it easy for people to find. It's a warm room that invites you to enter and explore. You can click on the picture above to see additional pictures of the room.

The thing I like best about this space is that it makes it easy for people to investigate volunteer ministry opportunities. Display racks on the wall to the left as you enter feature ministry opportunities within the church. Everything is well marked, color coded and easy to understand. To the right as you enter are display racks that feature short-term mission opportunities and information on each of the missionaries the church supports.

In addition, there are computers and self-assessments that help a person explore their talents, gifts and possible service opportunities. This is the best space of its kind that I have ever seen.

Kudos to Lake Pointe for a creative, well executed design. The Volunteer Center is a space that works for me!
