Churches have staff come and go like any organization, but when does it become excessive and a red flag for an unhealthy church? Doesn’t the congregation merit an honest explanation? What is the role of the elders in allowing the workplace environment that precipitates employee loss? Do you see similar circumstances at your church?
“Two more long-term employees resigned the following year, along with a youth minister, Brandon Milburn. Two years later, resignations seared the congregation with the loss of the new worship minister, two interns, the graphic arts staff member, and three more associate/youth pastors.” (Taylor, Joy S., A View from the Pews — The Inside Story of a Broken Church, 2022, Lily of the Valley Publishing, Santa Claus IN, p.44.)
