Whether a staff member has been at your church for a long time or you're bringing new people on the team, clarifying how things work is always a smart decision. A good personnel handbook will help you clarify (in writing) important policies and procedures, answer key questions, and even protect you from future conflict. This manual from 12 Stone is a great template and inspiration. It's a Word document so you can quickly customize. Remember, your church needs policies and procedures that are unique to you. So use this as a guide, not as the Gospel truth. If you have questions about how to clarify something, reach out to your Ministry Coach.
