Church volunteer experience can be listed on a resume in the same way as any other volunteer experience. You should include the name of the church, your role or responsibilities, and the duration of your involvement. Additionally, you should highlight any relevant skills or experiences that you gained through your volunteer work, such as leadership, event planning, or community outreach. It's a good idea to list this kind of experience under a "Volunteer Experience" or "Community Involvement" section on your resume, which should be placed after your professional experience.
