Transition Ministry

Facilitating Clergy and Congregation Matches for Ministry

 

Click here for information about Supply Clergy


Congregational Goals for Interim periods:
  • For the congregation to see itself as the people of God with or without a rector
  • For the congregation to clarify or re-define its identity and sense of direction
  • For the congregation to identify the gifts it has to move in the desired direction and the gifts that it needs from a priest
  • For the congregation to find a priest with the desired gifts

A mantra for all congregations in clergy transitions:


"We have a saviour, we need a priest"


Steps in the transition process:
  • Preparation
  • Self Study
  • Clergy Search
  • Discernment
  • Discernment to Call
  • Mutual Ministry

A brochure outlining the steps can be downloaded HERE. Set up for double sided printed, folded in thirds.


Goals of the Diocese of Newark Deployment office:

  • To help congregations do transitions well, rather than simply accomplish steps quickly.
  • To help clergy discern and find the ministries to which God is calling them
  • To engage entire congregations with:
    • Self definition and direction
    • Priorities for next priest
    • Praying
    • Seeking names of possible matches
  • To help congregations maximize the number of potential matches, rather than the number of clergy names
  • To help congregations and clergy seek the best match, rather than the best priest or the best congregation
