A small church may need to discern sustainable staffing options when a full-time pastoral salary is out of reach. This free guide helps leaders evaluate those options honestly without treating any one model as a universal answer.
How to use this resource
Start with honest cash-flow information, the ministry work that must be covered, and the capacity of current people. Consider bi-vocational, part-time, shared, interim, or lay-led approaches in light of your polity and mission. Do not make compensation, employment, tax, or legal decisions without qualified local advice.
