The Chick-fil-A Hiring Secret Every Church Should Steal

What if churches applied Chick-fil-A's hiring mindset to strengthen their Sunday morning teams? Todd Rhodes explores three powerful shifts to make church teams stronger, sharper, and more spiritually aligned.• Hire for character, not just competence – look beyond skills to find people with heart, empathy and humility• Consider promoting high-performing volunteers from within when staff positions open up• Make training ongoing rather than one-time onboarding to prevent drift away from excellence• Build regular check-ins, Sunday huddles, and celebration of wins into your staff culture• Remember every role matters, especially invisible ones that create first impressions• First-time guests decide whether they'll return before the sermon starts• Consider hospitality skills when hiring worship teams, not just musical ability• The best people don't just show up—they're selected, shaped, and celebratedReach out with comments or questions at [email protected] or in the YouTube comments section.
