One of the most challenging and high-risk seasons of a church’s life is when it is experiencing a minister transition.
We’re here to help with staff placement.
One of the most challenging and high-risk seasons of a church’s life is when it is experiencing a minister transition. It is financially expensive, it requires a significant increase of energy and involvement, it strains relationships, and it is a clear and present threat to ministry momentum.
Unfortunately, the risk doesn’t end there. Making a great hire sets your church up for short- and long-term success. But there is nothing worse than surviving a minister hiring process just to find out within a few months that you made a poor choice and are now staring at another search process in the face.
Whether you are preparing for a minister search or if you have been struggling to find and hire your next minister, Crossroads Church Partners has formed a partnership with Find Your Next Minister (FYNM) to help you! Contact us today to learn how our team of experienced church leaders can assist your elders and search team to conduct a feasibility study, create a job posting and description, develop a compensation package, identify quality candidates, conduct interviews and trial weekends, and navigate the hiring and onboarding processes.
