I viewed Intentional Interim Ministry as a new career path in ministry following retirement as a hospital chaplain. Each of the churches I have worked with have improved their listening skills, learned about conflict management, taken renewed responsibility for effective ministry, learned to utilize outside resources and experienced spiritual renewal. I would recommend the training because it broadens one's scope of ministry and the skills required to share those skills with congregations.

Interim Ministry for Today's
Church is a course designed to
prepare participants to be better able to serve congregations in
the role of interim pastor. At the
end of the course, participants will have learned how
to:
- Prepare the church for the
calling of a new pastor
- Develop a covenant with a congregation that
clearly describes the responsibilities of the interim
pastor and the congregation
- Enter a congregation in order
to more quickly join with the church and its
ministries
- Study the health of a
congregation and determine how an interim minister can
provide assistance to the church
- Work with a Pastoral Search
Committee in a way that is appropriate for an interim
minister
- Provide a good model of closure for ministry,
and help a congregation begin to celebrate a new
chapter in their life.
This seventeen-hour conference is
designed to meet the needs of interim pastors. It also
is the pre-requisite course for those who wish
to apply for the advanced training as an Intentional Interim
Ministry Specialist.
