Why can’t any pastor, full or part time, “cover” the ministry needed during our pastoral vacancy?
Intentional Interim Pastors serve in every aspect of ministry plus provide opportunities for the congregation to address issues such as coming to terms with the congregation’s history, closure for the previous pastor, leadership shifts, reconnection with the church at large, and re-evaluation of congregation’s core values, vision, and mission. Unless they are trained to address these specific problem areas, most pastors either will not or cannot deal with them.
