As churches grow, one of their biggest challenges is finding the right people to add to their team.

On paper, it may look like they have enough staff, but they often find themselves with a shortage of strategic leaders on their team.

We're continuing our series on "Growing Church Problems" with an important topic that impacts every expanding ministry: structure and finding the right staff.

In this episode, Amy and Sean talk about the structural pain points of growing churches, the tensions around staffing and practical next steps to take to address these challenges.

Plus, Amy got to sit down with Jonathan Smith, lead pastor of OneChurch.to in Toronto and one of the newest members of our consulting team. Drawing from years of experience, he shares some best practices for hiring and promoting from within the congregation.
