Fundamentals of Transitional Ministry - Leader is a 3-day program designed to give participants an introduction to the key concepts and practices of ministering with congregations and agencies in times of transition.

While it is a stand-alone program, it is also the first phase of training that leads to being qualified as an Intentional Interim Minister. Thus, it is useful in itself for anyone in lay or ordained ministry, and also for those exploring whether they are called to Intentional Interim Ministry.

Who is this course for?

People in Presbytery leadership Roles

People in the latter half of Third Phase of Ministry

Ministers intending to do significant amounts of supply

Ministers moving from chaplaincy/agency roles into congregational ministry

Ministers in placements going through significant transitions, such as looking for new mission directions, contemplating combining/closing, moving to resource ministry.
