Who we ServeFaith-Aligned HR Support
for Ministries
Caring for Your Team Is Part of the Mission
Managing a ministry means caring for people—and that includes caring for your team. However, HR in a church or ministry setting presents challenges that many HR professionals may not fully understand.
From theological alignment to employment compliance, ministry leaders face unique responsibilities that require thoughtful, faith-aware solutions.
Navigating HR in a Ministry Setting
That’s where Church HR Network comes in. We provide churches, ministries, and faith-based organizations with practical tools, expert guidance, and resources like our HR360 subscription that are built for your world. Whether you’re hiring new staff, creating an employee handbook, or making sure your team stays compliant with changing regulations, we help you handle HR with clarity and confidence.
Our goal is simple: to help you align HR best practices with your ministry culture so you can focus on your mission while knowing your people are cared for and your organization is protected. With the right support, you can create a culture that’s both faith-centered and compliant.
Why HR Matters in Ministry Settings
Churches and ministries aren’t exempt from employment laws—but navigating compliance in a ministry setting is anything but simple. You’re not just managing staff and volunteers; you’re stewarding a team called to serve, all while balancing legal obligations and biblical values.
Without the right HR practices, ministries face real risks:
- Misclassifying employees and volunteers
- Mishandling sensitive situations like harassment or misconduct
- Overlooking payroll compliance, including wage and hour accuracy and ministerial housing allowance requirements
- Falling short on documentation, training, or performance management
These issues can lead to legal exposure, financial penalties, reputational harm, and damage to the very mission you’re working to advance.
Church HR Network helps ministries avoid these pitfalls and strike that balance between compliance and calling. We offer tools that help you protect your team while keeping your mission and values at the center.
From employee handbook reviews to harassment prevention training, we help you stay both legally covered and spiritually supported—so your ministry can focus on what matters most.
