This season we are going to do some mini series on specific topics. Today’s episode is part 1 of a 4 part series called, “Will My Church Need a Transitional Pastor”. Over the next three weeks we will release the rest of this deep-dive. The bulk of this content comes from the FAQ’s that you can find on our website. This deep dive will look at specific caution signs that churches may have that indicate that they will be benefitted by using a transitional pastor. The caution signs we will look at today are: The length of tenure of the last pastor; An out of date ministry audit; Denominational change, and: pastoral “churn”.As you listen , think about your church; are we describing your church? If so, and if you would like to talk to us more about the process of doing your own internal deep-dive, we want to help you. After you finish this episode send us an e-mail so we can talk with you. 

Could your church benefit from a transitional pastor after a long-term leader steps down? Join us as we explore the vital role of transitional pastors in helping congregations redefine themselves and move forward with renewed energy. We discuss the importance of this transitional period, not just for churches in distress but also for those that are healthy and looking to ensure their future vitality. Discover why this strategic step is essential for fostering a strong church identity and continued growth.

Many churches had to rethink their ministries during the COVID-19 pandemic. We delve into the importance of conducting regular ministry audits to ensure that church activities align with the mission of making disciples as outlined in the Great Commission. Drawing from insights in "Simple Church" by Tom Rainer and Eric Geiger, we share practical steps on how to assess and realign ministries for greater effectiveness. Learn how to determine if your church programs have clarity, focus, and measurable progress in fulfilling your mission.

Ministry challenges are inevitable, but how can churches address them effectively? We discuss the necessity of evaluating and potentially discontinuing unfruitful programs while honoring past efforts. Viewing ministry through a missionary lens, we emphasize the significance of outreach and adapting methods to better fulfill the Great Commission. Additionally, we tackle the issue of "Pastor Churn" and the benefits of stable, long-term leadership for church health. Tune in for strategies to navigate these critical moments in your church's journey.
