When you know something is off related to the team, it’s normal to lack confidence for solving that kind of challenge. They didn’t teach you how to do that in seminary. You’ve probably been on the receiving end of a bad restructure at some point yourself.

You don’t have to tackle it alone. We understand the nuances of what makes leading a church staff team uniquely challenging. We’ve helped 100s of churches build a staffing strategy and structure that works. Through our Staffing & Structure process, we help teams solve complicated staffing challenges with wisdom and grace.
