https://churchanswers.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Staff-Sitting-Having-a-Meeting-Together.png1200628Not long ago, churches assumed that if a staff position opened, candidates would appear. Résumés would arrive. Interviews would follow. Eventually, someone would say yes. Today, many church leaders are discovering that assumption no longer holds. Across the country, churches are voicing the same frustration: “We can’t find a staff person.” The needs vary—children’s ministry, student ministry, worship leadership, assimilation, discipleship—but the struggle is the same. This is not an isolated problem or a temporary disruption. It is a growing reality that requires honest assessment, fresh thinking, and the courage to reconsider long-held staffing assumptions.
