Slingshot Group — Organization Profile
Slingshot Group is a staffing, search, and coaching organization that serves churches and faith-based nonprofits by helping them find the right leaders and build remarkable teams. Founded in 2007, Slingshot Group began with a vision to match the right churches with the right people and has expanded into a nationwide team that supports organizations through search, coaching, and leadership-transition work.
At its core, Slingshot Group supports mission-driven organizations that need more than job postings and resumes. Their staffing services are built to help churches and nonprofits clarify what they actually need, identify leaders who fit their culture, and move from uncertainty to confident hiring decisions. This includes executive search for senior leadership roles as well as specialized searches for the many role types that make up a healthy ministry team.
Slingshot Group’s staffing process emphasizes preparation and clarity. Organizations start with guided discovery and position profiling so expectations, responsibilities, and culture are defined before candidates are introduced. From there, Slingshot’s team helps identify and evaluate candidates and then supports churches and nonprofits through the interview process and final placement. Their approach is designed to stay engaged through the outcome—treating hiring as a long-term partnership, not a transaction.
Coaching is the other major pillar of Slingshot’s work. The organization offers coaching for new staff, teams, leaders in transition, and succession so individuals and organizations can grow healthier while navigating change. Coaching support is positioned as a practical way to strengthen leadership capacity, address roadblocks, and build culture, whether the need is personal development, team alignment, board clarity, or transition planning.
Slingshot Group also serves job seekers through its open roles listings and candidate support. By connecting candidates with a wide network of churches and organizations, Slingshot helps ministry leaders explore opportunities, prepare for interviews, and discern fit. This job-seeker channel complements their organization-facing work by improving the quality of matches between churches/nonprofits and prospective leaders.
Slingshot Group is based in Irvine, California, and works with churches and organizations across the United States through its nationwide team of practitioners and consultants. Churches, nonprofits, and candidates can engage by exploring staffing services, coaching pathways, succession support, and ongoing leadership resources such as the Slingshot Group Podcast and related articles.
