Interim Ministry Training
Rev. Gene Derryberry, through The Center for Congregation Health, will offer Interim Ministry 1 (IM1) and Intentional Interim Ministry (IM2) trainings (www.healthychurch.org) at The Retreat at Silver Springs.
IM 1 is scheduled for MONDAY, APRIL 9 thru WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11
The time between permanent pastors is an important time for a faith community. Members often operate at maximum capacity as they make crucial decisions about the future direction of the congregation. Their experience is enhanced by engaging a leader specifically trained in the dynamics of transition.
This conference will prepare participants to:
o Develop a covenant with a congregation that clearly describes the responsibilities of the interim minister and the congregation.
o Enter a congregation in order to more quickly join with them in ministry.
o Study the health of a congregation and determine where they might need assistance.
o Articulate the role of the interim pastor in planning for the congregation’s future, including appropriate contact with the Pastor Search/Call Committee.
o Prepare the congregation for the coming of a new minister.
o Exit a congregation in a way that models good closure for ministry and the opening of a new chapter in the faith community’s life.
Interim Ministry 1 is designed to meet the basic needs of traditional interim ministers. For those who want to apply for advanced training in intentional interim ministry (Interim Ministry 2), this introductory course qualifies as 17 of the 85 required hours. This course will also prepare you for the new IM2 Combined course by qualifying for 17 hours of that course.
