INTERIM MINISTRY
Transformation Ministries (TM) is always looking for quality pastors who are available to churches during important times of transition. We try to maintain a list of qualified interims and pulpit supply to recommend to churches.

Great Goals for Interim Pastors
- Clean Up: Messes that need to be cleaned up; things broken that need fixing.
- Shore Up: Things in decline that need to be stabilized and re-energized.
- Keep Up: Things now okay that need to be maintained at the same level.
- Ramp Up: Things going okay that we should improve and make even more impacting.
- Start Up: Things that don't now exist that need to be started.
