When it comes to hiring, every church, company, and organization has a different approach to finding the perfect candidate. While there are some similarities between hiring for a secular job and a job in ministry, the overall process typically looks and feels different in the church. As today’s guest describes, “It can be backward from hiring a secular position”.
The process of hiring a pastoral position for your church can be strenuous for not only church staff, but for church members. The future of the community and the purpose of a local church is greatly determined by its senior leadership. Hiring a pastor should not be taken lightly.
