In the rapidly changing modern church, every minister is an interim.
Few pastors begin their ministry in a congregation believing it will be a short-term or transitional partnership. Yet in a rapidly changing church environment, every minister is an unintentional interim.
From author and judicatory leader for ministerial transitions, Jeffrey A. Nelson, comes a thoughtful engagement on modern ministry in the modern church. With discernment and support, ministers can be intentional throughout their pastorate?no matter how long or short their tenure may last.
