Lessons from Shiloh Community Church on Successful Staff Transitions
As a church leader, you know the importance of building a strong, cohesive staff team. The right people in the right roles can truly transform your ministry and help your church thrive. But finding those perfect-fit candidates isn't always easy. That's where Chemistry Staffing comes in.
Chemistry Staffing's job is to help churches like yours hire well.

Whether you need to hire a new team member, transition an existing leader, plan a senior leadership succession, or restructure your staff, we're here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
Recently, we had the privilege of helping Shiloh Community Church find their new Families Ministries Pastor. Senior Pastor James Floyd shared his excitement about their new hire:
"We are thrilled to have Doug Olsen join Shiloh Community Church as our new Family Ministries Pastor. Doug is truly passionate about reaching families and equipping them to nurture their children's faith. He has an incredible track record of developing strong ministry teams and empowering volunteer leaders. We are confident that Doug will help take our Shiloh Kids and Shiloh Students programs to new heights."
But it wasn't just the final result that impressed Pastor James - it was the personalized, hands-on support that Chemistry Staffing provided throughout the entire process. As he explained:
"I really appreciated having a dedicated Church Coach during our search who made himself available to me every step of the way, listening to our feedback after each round of candidates and adjusting the search parameters accordingly. He was truly invested in helping us find the perfect fit for our church."
For any church leaders out there considering adding a new staff member, Pastor James offers this invaluable advice:
"Pray continually, give honest feedback to your Church Coach, don't settle for a candidate you're not 100% excited to serve with, and be patient. Chemistry Staffing will work tirelessly to find you the right person, but it's important to trust the process and not rush into a decision."
