Transitions in pastoral leadership in a church are often times of substantial challenges as well as opportunities. Intentional interim leadership during these transitions can provide churches with a fresh perspective and a higher level of ministerial competence to address these inevitable challenges and opportunities.
Intentional Interim Ministry can lead to healthier transitions and healthier churches.
On November 16 – 17, the CABC is offering an Intentional Interim Ministry Training event for CABC pastors who want to gain some interim ministry skills to help churches in pastoral leadership transitions. We want our churches to have access to ministry leadership who can help provide consistency and the capacity to ensure congregational health and ongoing effectiveness.
Topics will include:
• Principles of Transition
• Why Intentional Interim?
• Options for Transition
• 8 Goals of Transition Period
• 4 Questions for a Church
