See this content in the original post

How do you find the right key person to join your ministry team? 

There are questions like:

  • What is the person’s heart for God and the gospel?  

  • What is the person’s relationship with authority?  

  • How do we recruit to a vision and strategy? 

  • What are the pitfalls of interviews? 

  • What are the first questions to ask referees? 

  • Who else to involve in the process?

St Matthew’s Manly’s Senior Minister Bruce Clarke says there’s Character, Conviction and Competency, but also Chemistry, Culture and Calling. 

Norwest Anglican’s Pete Stedman says different churches require different capacities, and different roles within a church require different capacities.
