How Grow Staffing works
One place for the people who lead kids and students.
Ministry hiring is hard on both sides. Leaders can't find the right roles, and churches can't find the right leaders. Grow Staffing brings both together in one place, with the Grow team there when you want help.

For churches
Hire your way, or let us run the search.

What people ask first
Still wondering about something? The Grow team is happy to talk it through.
Who is Grow Staffing for?
Kids, preschool, student, family and next gen ministry leaders looking for their next role, and the churches hiring them. It's built by the team behind Grow Curriculum, but you don't need to use Grow to post or apply.
Does it cost anything to search or apply?
For leaders, browsing jobs and building a profile are planned to be free. Church pricing for job posts, candidate search and the staffing service hasn't been decided yet, so you'll see Pricing TBD throughout this prototype.
What does "Grow Certified" mean?
The leader finished the Grow Certification course: Foundations, all eight strategy modules and a capstone plan reviewed by the Grow team. It shows they've been trained in the Grow strategy. It isn't a background check, a reference or a guarantee of fit, so churches still run their own hiring process.
Do I need Grow Certification to apply for jobs?
No. Any leader can apply to any role. Some churches mark a role "Grow Certified preferred", and certified leaders stand out in search, but certification is never required to apply.
How does the staffing service work?
You tell us about your church and the role. The Grow team helps shape the job description, recruits and screens candidates, and introduces a shortlist. You make the hire. Timelines, terms and fees are still being decided.
Are these real jobs and real people?
Not yet. This is a clickable prototype. Every church, job, candidate, certificate and number you see is sample data, and nothing you enter is sent anywhere.
