WELCOME TO BETWEEN TIMES CONSULTING
Helping Congregations Discover Their True Calling
Your pastor has just announced their retirement or resigned to accecpt a new call.
Maybe the congregation exprienced conflict. Maybe the last pastor was fired. Maybe the congregation is languishing and needs to recover its purpose. Or maybe you just lost your beloved pastor who served you faithfully for decades. The only pastor the congregation knows. The only way of doing things they are familiar with. These are just a few scenarios are congregation in transition might face. Do you panic? Rush to get a new priest as quickly as possible? Pretend everything is fine and ignore reality? Hope a clone of the beloved pastor emerges? Congregation transitions sometimes feel like a wilderness journey. And the future is pretty scary. However, it needn't be! Opportunities abound! And a trained transition pastor can aid you in making the most of this "in between time". Scripture reminds us constantly that deserts and wilderness are moments of clarity and transformation. As a certified interim priest I enable and empower congregations to utilize the time between pastors well. Through active listening, storytelling and objective assessment, I help congregations affirm their heritage, articulate their mission and claim their vocation. In addition to my formal training in pastoral transitions, I have over 35 years experience in parish leadership, preaching, worship and Congregational Development. . |
