Why Many Choose Interim Pastor Ministries

  • A national Reputation and Exposure: We have been in service for 23 years. We have served over 850 churches.  We are known by satisfied churches and denominational leaders all over America.  We place interims into churches in all parts of the USA and even occasionally in other countries.
  • Local and National Opportunities: Our interim opportunities come from far and near. We place pastors within 2 hours of their home (on occasion) and within 500 miles (often) and then to the corners of our country (all the time). 
  • Personal, Interim Coaching to Increase your Effectiveness: Jesus sent his disciples out two by two. We will attach to you an experienced and competent coach to encourage, guide and assist you.  
  • Training and Annual Continuing Education: We require that interim candidates attend our "Introduction to Interim Ministry" Training which we offer 2-3 times a year. You will receive two manuals and plenty of resources to get started in interim work.  Additionally, we offer an annual continuing education conference that we call "The Summit." It is held each June, usually in the upper midwest and features some of America's foremost experts in Intentional Interim Ministry.  
  • Financial Benefits and Rewarding Ministry: We seek the full package of the last pastor.  One interim who is now retired says that his 10 interim pastors were the "icing on the cake."  When you look in your rear view mirror and see the churches that you served flourishing under the next Pastor, you will know that you have made a difference for the Kingdom.
  • Challenge and Adventure:  You will be stretched in many ways in itinerant ministry.  You will grow with each interim you perform. Traveling and serving churches in other areas will be an adventure for sure. Each assignment is unique, like none other. You can be certain that you won't get bored and will be stimulated helping churches get healthy and prepared for their next pastor. 
Thanks! You folks listened to the Spirit's call on our behalf. You brought a fresh approach and enthusiasm that refreshed us all. On behalf of the Church and the leadership, I want to express appreciation for your Biblical leadership and discernment, your full support of our stand, and your willingness to be flexible to our methods of doing things. Thank you for all your help in the pastoral search, too. You were God's answer to our prayers. Thank you for opening your home and hearts to us."
