Culture Killer // Tardiness (A Volunteer’s Perspective)

Late again? From leaders rushing in last-minute to no-show volunteers, tardiness can silently poison your worship team’s culture. This eye-opening article flips the script on the age-old punctuality problem by letting team members speak their hearts about one of the biggest culture killers in worship ministry. Instead of another lecture about being on time, discover raw, honest insights from volunteers who pour their hearts into serving every week – and learn why being “fashionably late” might be doing more damage than you think.

In this article, you’ll discover:
• Why being a “Defender of Culture” is a hidden part of every worship leader’s job
• The real emotional impact of leader tardiness on your volunteer team members

Ready to strengthen your team’s culture and tackle the tardiness issue with wisdom and grace?
