Finding the Superstars

Are you attracting the very best talent to your team? Well, take a look at the people you’re interviewing for the position. For a moment, forget about education, experience and skills. Set their resume aside and answer these questions:

• Does this person love our church? Have they demonstrated that they fully embrace our mission, vision and values?
• What motivates this person? Will they soar in the role I’m offering, or will it just become a job to earn a paycheck?
• Does he or she want to continue to grow? Does she like to read? Does he take time to think? Does she make it a priority to dream and to create?
• Is this person a leader? With a limited amount of money to invest in staff, I need someone who will help me multiply the ministry. Will this person help me do that?
• Does this person have a track record of success? Do they have the potential to help the church reach the next level?
• Do I like this person? Does he or she have a fun personality? Am I going to enjoy spending fifty hours or more each week with this person?

These are the types of Christ-followers you want serving at your church. For the rest of the story, see the entire article from this week’s Ministry ToolBox at Pastors.com.
