Restructuring Your Staff

Restructuring Staff Roles

Take a look at the typical staff hiring priority list:

1. Lead Pastor
2. Worship Pastor
3. Family Pastor
4. Assimilation/Small Group Pastor
5. Administrator
6. Youth & Young Adults Pastor
7. Community Outreach Pastor
8. Executive Pastor
9. Campus Pastor

Do you have any high priority roles that are being neglected while having low priority roles instead?

What possible shifts could you make with your staff and volunteers to better structure their future roles? 

Make a list of all your current paid and volunteer staff members:

Which staff members are your high performers who should receive higher investments into their training and salary?

Which staff members are struggling in their current roles, but would do better elsewhere?

Which staff members are low performers who should be defunded and/or should be reassigned to less demanding roles to suit their heart and abilities?

Restructuring Staff Activities

Ideally, most staff members should be doing a number of different things:

1. Engage people outside the church.
2. Integrate newcomers.
3. Lead people to Jesus.
4. Teach them to follow Him.
5. Develop their team and new leaders.

Write down each of your current paid and volunteer staff members.  beside each of their names write which of the above  elements are missing from their weekly routine.  How can you train them to restructure their activities to meet your desired Great Commission ends?
