Thanks so much to everyone who wrote in! I’d love to hear from anyone else who hasn’t yet shared.
I’ve created a Google Sheet. Any objections to me sharing this via the forums? I didn’t want to assume…though the info. in it is the same as what was shared here…
Here are some summary stats:
12 churches responded, 4 from Illinois, 2 from Arkansas. The remaining states were New Jersey, Ohio, California, Georgia, New Mexico, and Kansas.

Some Other Thoughts
There are 4 churches with 5+ FT staff, with the exception of 1, all of these are 9k AWA or over (exception: 5.5k)
There are 2 churches with 3+ to 5 FT staff, they are both 5k AWA.
I have been unable to determine a pattern relating to geographic area.
If anyone hasn’t provided me with web staff or pt staff and wants to, I’ll factor that in.
Is there anything else we could track that would be helpful?
Two items that might be interesting would be (a) IT budget/year, (b) IT outsourcing budget/year.
This may throw significant light on the differences in staffing levels. Feel free to shoot that to me privately if you wish and I will provide a report on the aggregate results.
Thanks again for sharing!
