HR Resources
Resources for churches and ministries are constantly growing and changing. It’s important to admit that you don’t know and can’t possibly know everything.

It’s important to be a student of human resources because the world is so often changing. Staying on top of new information, compliance issues, and laws will help you lead your team well. Resources like SHRM, HR Ministry Network and other websites will lend HR teams a helping hand in understanding the wide variety of topics they need to know. Community is also an incredible resource for support.
