3 Core People Practices Every Church Needs to Get Right

Stop People Problems Before

They Derail Your Church

The Challenge

You see it every day: a rushed hire that doesn’t fit, a hard conversation put off too long, staff burned out or confused. These issues don’t fade—they grow, creating compliance risks, eroding trust, and draining resources. Without a clear people strategy, even the best ministries can lose their edge.

The Good News

You can be the trusted advisor who safeguards both people and mission.

Phil Goodman—currently serving Practicing the Way and Canyon Hills Church (PNW mega church) and former people & culture leader at SubSplash—and Michael Erisman—Global Chief People Officer with leadership at Microsoft, GE, DocuSign, and Pushpay—bring world-class HR expertise and deep church experience to guide you
