The Unstuck Church Podcast with Amy Anderson

The Understaffed Team with Too Many People - Episode 382


Listen Later

In Part 1 of a new series we're calling "Church Staffing Oxymorons," Sean and Amy explore a common staffing oxymoron that all too many churches face: teams that are simultaneously understaffed and overstaffed.

In this episode we unpack:

  • Why churches often end up with misaligned staffing
  • What this tension feels like for different ministry areas
  • Common but ineffective solutions churches try
  • How to properly assess your starting point
  • The importance of having true leaders in leadership roles
  • Practical next steps for evaluating and addressing staffing imbalances

Plus, we share real church examples, discuss assessment tools that can provide objective data about your staffing reality and provide guidance for leaders who want to build healthy, sustainable team structures that support effective ministry.

This Episode is Brought to You By Planning Center: Planning Center is an all-in-one toolkit to organize and run your ministries. And what is a ministry without volunteers?
