The Art of Transitional Ministry

Leading a congregation through a period of transition is both challenging and rewarding work. It takes knowledge, skill, resilience, and spiritual strength to navigate the waters of change in a way that allows a congregation and its leaders to be open to new possibilities, to go deeper, and to thrive.
