Has your church thought about using the Intentional Interim Ministry? This process is designed to help a church prepare for the coming of a new pastor. A church that enters the IIM process will concentrate on five focus points that will enable them to develop a profile of their church and a profile of a potential pastor who can lead the church to be the kind of church that God wants it to be. A church will spend six to eight months working on these focus points in preparation for a new pastor.
