Abstract
A 1993 study of Assemblies of God, Baptists, Catholics, Lutherans, and Presbyterians inquired about levels of volunteering by parishioners to support church programs. About half of church members volunteer for their churches. Levels of volunteering to support church programs are higher in conservative and evangelical churches, while volunteering for community programs is higher in mainline Protestant churches. The value of volunteers to most churches is roughly two-fifths the value of their monetary contributions. Volunteers' value is highest among Lutherans and Baptists -- almost half the current amount of monetary contributions.
