How can (and should) your church handle job descriptions?

Ten Steps to Revise a Job Description

Whose job is it anyway?

Up-to-date and realistic job descriptions are crucial ministry tools, but how many churches have them?

The COVID pandemic and a shift to hybrid ministry that began in 2020 rendered many existing job descriptions obsolete. In this webinar, Aaron Hill sits down with Tiffany Henning, Founder of HR Ministry Solutions, to discuss why and how churches should update job descriptions.

Learn about:

  • The legal and practical reasons why churches should write and revise job descriptions.
  • The how of job descriptions: ten basic steps, templates, defining a star profile, “stay interviews,” and using them to conduct performance reviews and regular coaching.

Tiffany also fields a number of in-depth questions from members: including at-will statements, physical and spiritual requirements, and much more.
