Hiring Church Staff Shouldn’t Look Like The Bachelor… But It Does 146e1n

Many churches approach hiring like The Bachelor – making decisions based on flashy first impressions and shallow questions, then experiencing regret months later. This episode explores a better approach to church staffing that prioritizes discernment over drama. • Too many churches hire based on "vibes" rather than substantial evaluation • Ministry leadership requires emotional intelligence, calling, team alignment, and theological compatibility • Healthy churches define success metrics before beginning their search • Structured interviews with consistent questions ensure fairness and thorough evaluation • Using assessments helps identify personality, theology, and leadership patterns • The Holy Spirit leads, but appreciates a solid hiring rubric • Poor hiring decisions impact discipleship, evangelism, and can cost churches significantly If you're struggling with your church hiring process, reach out to me at [email protected].
