COURSE DESCRIPTION

This is for pastors and church leaders interested in interim ministry and/or congregations in transition. The intense, 30-hour course provides the basics for understanding both interim and transitional ministry.

What does faithful and fruitful transitional leadership look like today? 

How does one embody a pastoral presence that will embolden a congregation to identify and step into the new that is trying to emerge? 

Whether you are considering an interim position leading congregations through the transitions between pastors, or serving in an installed call (or another role) leading through the complex transitions thrust upon every congregation today, you are invited to join us to explore what transitional church leadership may look like for you.

This course is designed to reflect the realities of ministry today, with the ambiguity of the time in which we live, alongside the certainty of God’s power, creativity, and provision. Our hope and expectation is that you will leave with:

• Practical understanding of different transitional leadership approaches and their relevant contexts
• A range of tools for navigating transitions
• Fresh perspectives, new ideas, spiritual grounding, and renewed energy for leadership in your context
• New connections with colleagues for on-going support and collaboration.
