Description

Change is inevitable, and not always easy to embrace. This can be especially true when it comes time to change pastoral leadership in a church. Transitional ministry bridges the gap between settled pastors, and provides care and guidance for churches during this time of upheaval. In this nondenominational guidebook, you’ll find foundational information about transitional ministry, its history, development, challenges, and how it’s at work in churches today. For those seeking to serve in transitional ministry, this book will give you a deeper understanding of what transitional ministry involves. For denominational leaders, this book will help you understand what a Transitional or Intentional Interim Pastor can do for a congregation in need of a settled pastor. For congregations, this book will help you understand what a transitional pastor can offer, what a church can expect of a transitional minister, and what the transitional minister may expect of a church in return. The Reverend Ross T. Lucas writes from a lifetime of experience in ministry, and over fifteen years focused specifically on transitional ministry. His approach is compassionate and aware of the many varied and challenging circumstances that can arise during the interim period. With greater education and awareness about transitional ministry, Lucas hopes to help build strong and healthy churches going into the future.
