Invest Goals:

Over the last year and a half, the Executive Team and Elders have been developing a long-term staffing strategy for Currey Creek. This strategy includes replacing key vacated pastoral positions, hiring new pastoral positions as needed, and addressing other staffing needs as our church continues to grow.

One critical factor that we have learned from planting churches is that we lose key volunteers, staff, and leaders. We want to develop and implement a plan to develop leaders across ministry lines so that when we plant in the future, we have a “next man up” strategy in place.

Dr. Free’s dissertation focused on developing a staffing strategy to support a church-planting residency program. This method of acquiring and developing church planters will allow us to retain key staff members and also send out well-equipped pastors.

Growth will happen whether we are proactive or not. As you can see, the new worship facility and offices are only a component part of an overall strategy to facilitate growth, develop disciples, and plant healthier churches. The building will enable us to accommodate growth while building a stronger foundation for future church planting.
