Curiosity, not just competency, may be the most underrated asset on your church staff team. Hiring curious people can transform your church culture and foster innovation from the inside out.
• Curious staff members ask better questions like "why do we do it this way?" rather than settling for status quo
• Skills like ProPresenter, Canva, and planning systems can be taught, but curiosity is intrinsic
• In a rapidly changing post-pandemic church landscape, churches need explorers, not just maintainers
• Curious staff build better culture by creating safer spaces for innovation and staying teachable
• When interviewing candidates, ask questions that reveal curiosity: "What have you changed your mind about in ministry lately?"
• The most dangerous staff member is one who has stopped asking questions
