How many staff members does your church truly need to thrive? We're tackling this complex and often daunting question head-on. Join Todd Rhoades, co-founder of ChemistryStaffing.com, on the Healthy Church Staff Podcast as we challenge common myths about church staffing. Do traditional staff-to-member ratios really hold up? Is a bigger team always better? You'll find out why these assumptions might be leading you astray.
In this episode, we provide research-backed insights and actionable tips to guide you in determining the ideal number of full-time equivalents (FTEs) for your church. Learn how to balance your budget effectively, aiming for personnel costs between 45-55% of your overall budget, and discover how weekly attendance figures can offer a ballpark range for staffing needs. Most importantly, we emphasize the significance of aligning your staff size with your church's unique core ministries and programs. Whether your congregation is small or large, this episode is packed with valuable guidance to help you achieve a healthy, effective ministry team.
