What can we do when the candidate pool is so shallow? While the pressure is on when you’re short staffed, you don’t want to compromise or take shortcuts. It involves prayer, planning and cultivating a positive church culture.

  • How long can recruitment take?

  • What can the recruitment process look like?

  • How can your church get involved in the recruitment process?

  • How to utilise existing networks and relationships?

  • What are some creative approaches to attract candidates?

  • How to develop a process that’ll ensure future ministry leaders?

  • How can a strong church culture make your teams appealing?
