    REGISTRATION DEADLINE:  April 26, 2024

    This is a virtual course. The course consists of a 5-day classroom experience followed by individual fieldwork. The fieldwork entails completing a project related to one of the focus points covered in class, and participating in a series of teleconferences.

    This 5-day course combines the Interim Ministry 1 (the work of the leader) and the Interim Ministry 2 (the work of the congregation) courses. It is designed for those individuals who have already discerned God’s call to interim ministry. Interim Ministry Training focuses on the work of the interim minister as he/she leads a congregation through the time of transition, as well as on the work of the congregation during this journey.

    To enhance the learning experience, participants are required to complete six pre-work assignments. Class begins at 9:00 AM (ET) and ends at 4:00 PM each day, Monday - Friday. Fieldwork starts about 30 days after the last day of class and consists of five conference calls conducted in approximately 30-day intervals. Fieldwork expectations are explained in-depth during the training event. Note: Applicants who previously completed IM1, and who now wish to complete their training in order to be recognized as an Intentional Interim Minister, please contact Anne.Tambling@healthychurch.org for more information.

    Cost of this training: $1740

    Training Facilitator is Rev. Dr. Les Robinson. Les worked with the Center for Congregational Health for 21 years before he retired in June 2017. Not only has Les written the training curriculum for Intentional Interim Ministry, but many trainers for educating Intentional Interim Ministers across the world have also adapted his curriculum.

    The period of transition after the departure of a minister is an incredibly important and vulnerable time for a congregation. Today, more than ever, this period is filled with questions about the future of the congregation and its staffing needs and desires. Finances, attendance, facilities, beliefs are all topics that have to be addressed during a time with no ministerial leadership. As churches needs increase during this transition period, organizations and denominations that previously provided support are no longer able to do so at the level required by congregations. There is a great need for consultants trained specifically for this time period in the life of a congregation. 

    Transition Consultant training will provide you with concrete tools to use with congregations, an awareness of how to navigate conflict that may arise, and a framework for how to walk alongside a congregation in transition. This framework helps a congregation to clarify its mission, strategize for the future, and navigate the details of the search process.
