At Shepherd Staff, our mission has always been to help churches, Christian schools, and faith-based nonprofits navigate key leadership transitions with wisdom, care, and clarity. Our Affiliate Program exists to expand that mission by partnering with trusted individuals and organizations who are already walking alongside churches in meaningful ways.
As a Shepherd Staff Affiliate, you’ll have the opportunity to refer churches that could benefit from our proven, ministry-minded search process. Once you make the introduction, we take it from there—keeping you informed while serving the church with the highest level of professionalism, spiritual insight, and personal attention.
Many of our Affiliates are pastors, denominational leaders, consultants, or leaders of like-minded ministries who see this partnership as a natural extension of their calling to serve the local church. As a way of expressing our gratitude, we offer a small honorarium when a referred church engages in a full search – either to you personally or to a ministry or nonprofit of your choice.
It’s not about transactions – it’s about trust. And together, we can ensure more churches find the right leaders to step into God-honoring, long-term ministry impact.
