Testimonials

We staff your mission.
Below are some of the ministries we’ve had the opportunity to serve.


“Rukes surpassed all expectations I had about hiring a search firm. It was simple, it was personable, and it was relational.

St. Andrew Methodist Church
Plano, TX

A large gathering of women seated at round tables in a banquet hall, with a screen displaying 'The Table' at the front.

“Rukes Group was very easy to work with and worked hard to provide qualified candidates to us for our children’s ministry position. It was nice to have someone doing leg work for us in screening and generating candidates.”

Creekside Church
Midlothian, TX

A large group of children and teenagers outdoors, some with face paint and fun accessories, smiling and posing for a group photo during a lively event.

Rukes Group did a quality job from start to finish. Our search consultant kept me informed regularly. More importantly, they took the time to visit our church, understand our culture and church family, and then found us a genuine fit!

Vertical Church Columbus
Columbus, OH

A live musical performance in a dark auditorium with a large audience, a band on stage with members singing and playing instruments, colorful stage lighting.

“Rukes Group is the first company I have worked with in ministry where I felt I had a true partnership, rather than just receiving a product.”

Fellowship of the Rockies
Pueblo, CO

“Rukes helped us find great candidates when options were slim and helped us navigate hard conversations about compensation and fit.”

Kelsey Creek Church Bellevue, WA

Congregation attending a church service or concert inside a modern church building with large stained glass window, wooden ceiling, and two large projection screens.

“Early on I don’t think I fully understood the importance of having a search group helping us. I was wrong, this has been a learning experience for me, and I just wanted to reach out and say thank you for all your efforts and shared wisdom.”

Lake Hills Baptist Church Schererville, Indiana

View of a church auditorium decorated for a children's event or play, with a colorful stage background, puppets, and children seated on the floor.

“The large network of contacts and initial vetting of candidates were just two things that proved to be of significant help in the process.”

Silver Creek Reformed Church
German Valley, IL

A stone church building with a steep roof, large stained glass windows, a small baptistery, and well-maintained landscaping under a partly cloudy sky.
