The way churches hire staff is changing. Today we begin a three-part series on emerging trends in the church with a discussion on church staffing.
Some highlights from today’s episode include:
When you have a staff opening in the church, always evaluate the role and the needs of the church before making a hire for that same position. Things may need to change.
Always give clarity to a role when you create a new position on staff.
You don’t really know someone until you work with them or marry them.
One of the primary roles of the church is to call out the called.
The seven points we discuss are:
An example of the trend
Most of the the staff come from within the church
Common commitment is 10 hours a week
One-year commitments are common
Able to see giftedness and talent first hand
Training and education are widely available
Able to determine the efficacy of a ministry
