Hiring Resources
The hiring of any church personnel ought to be a journey of prayerfully seeking the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit to match the leadership team to the best people possible. Keep in mind; it is not wise to approach this as a “Gideon’s cloth” experiment trusting the Holy Spirit to divinely connect you with the best hire. Similarly, do not rely solely on the recommendation of a trusted congregant or your Holy Spirit inspired intuition. To hire well you need a method. This booklet is meant to support a prayerful and Holy Spirit guided process of hiring for the church.
