Churches don’t grow unless they are ready and prepared for growth. But how do you go about staffing your church for growth? Effective Staffing for Vital Churches points out four major growth transitions, what staff you need to hire as you grow, and how you as the pastor can be prepared for the barriers ahead.
This workshop is intended to help you develop some basic practices for hiring new staff members as well as walking you through a step by step process for finding and developing new leaders in your church who could become part of your staff.
