Interim Pastor Ministries seeks to assist the local church grow in HEALTH. We exist to be of service to Christ and His church by helping the local church develop the foundation for an increasingly effective ministry.

The IPM staff member guides the church in a comprehensive self-study initiative focusing on the following five key Transitional Tasks (also known as Developmental Tasks).

The Five Transitional Tasks:

Coming to terms with history - reviewing the history of the local church

Examining leadership and organizational needs

Strengthening denominational and external relationships

Discovering who you are as a church - examining your identity

Looking to the future - a commitment to new pastoral leadership and the future

As part of the self-study process, or separately, our ministry may also involve focusing one or more of the following issues:

Leadership development

Vision casting

Strategic planning

Problem solving

Conflict resolution

Peacemaking
