Hiring staff from within the congregation is often a tempting proposition, as these candidates are familiar with your church culture and passionate about your mission. However, is it always the best move? Internal hiring has its perks - cultural fit, buy-in, loyalty, commitment, and cost-effectiveness. These candidates may require less training and may already be part of your community. Yet, before promoting every volunteer, consider the drawbacks. The pool of candidates could be limited, biases and favoritism could interfere with objectivity, hired individuals may lack fresh perspectives, and there could be awkward relational dynamics. Additionally, obvious skill gaps can present a further challenge. Decision-making criteria should include considering the specific skills for the role and the preparedness to address potential biases and relational challenges. Also, the willingness to invest in training for an internal hire should be assessed, and the potential long-term benefits and risks enumerated. For churches considering this crossroads, internal hiring can capitalize on your existing talent and passion. Yet, there might be better fits for some situations. #Hiring #ChurchStaffing #Volunteers | Todd Rhoades

To hire or not to hire an Executive Pastor (XP)? That's the question many growing churches face. An XP often takes on operational roles, managing staff, implementing senior pastor’s vision, and bringing specialized skills like finance, HR or strategic planning. Looking to grow your ministry? An XP can provide leadership, mentor young leaders, support the senior pastor, and even enhance the church’s capacity for expansion. However, as with any significant decision, there are potential drawbacks. The cost and potential for conflict if roles aren't clearly defined and changes in leadership dynamics can become challenges. An XP hire is significant and can shift the entire leadership dynamic of a church, affecting not just the senior pastor but the rest of the staff, too. Before you decide to hire an XP, assess whether your church is large enough to justify the expense and whether you, as a leader, are ready to delegate and trust another person in decision-making. An XP can indeed be a game-changer for churches ready for it, but it's not a decision to be made lightly.
