Leading your staff through them is hard.  When you know something is off related to the team, it’s normal to lack confidence for solving that kind of challenge. They didn’t teach you how to do that in seminary. You’ve probably been on the receiving end of a bad restructure at some point yourself.  And, the people you serve alongside in ministry feel like family. The stakes are high. You don’t have to tackle it alone. We understand the nuances of what makes leading a church staff team uniquely challenging. We’ve helped 100s of churches build a staffing strategy and structure that works. Through our Staffing & Structure process, we help teams solve complicated staffing challenges with wisdom and grace.

Allowing ministry silos to develop and misalignment to grow, undercutting the ministry God has called you to do. Allowing failures in character, chemistry, competence or culture to go unaddressed. Letting people continue in key areas of responsibility when the ministry has outgrown their leadership capacity. In their “How to Restructure Wisely” webinar last month, Tony Morgan and Amy Anderson simplified what it takes to restructure with wisdom and grace—and they are sharing the event replay with us. Nobody gives their life to ministry for the money: It’s more than a job, and your team is more than a staff. You can lead through it with confidence, and your church can come out stronger on the other side. Learn how: theunstuckgroup.com/howtolead
