Staffing Matches Based on Culture + Theology
Why Use a Church Staffing Company?
The wrong hire in a church can cost your church financially, ruin morale, cause families to leave, and split churches. We've seen it.
Peter Drucker says
“Executives make poor promotion and staffing decisions. By all accounts, their batting average is no better than one third: At most one-third of their hiring decisions turn out right; one-third are minimally effective; and one-third are outright failures. In no other area of management would we put up with such miserable performance.”
Choosing the right person to be the pastor of your church is a critical decision.
We bring experience, outside perspective, and more decision-making data.
