The Transitional Process

In this video, Transition Coach, Cam Taylor discusses the five stages that are involved in the transition process for our Free Methodist Churches in Canada. This will give you a better idea on what to expect when your church goes into transition.

“The departure of a pastor is a significant change event for a church. It is also an opportunity to see God at work in your congregation. Our goal is to come alongside churches in transition so they can, in God’s time, welcome a new lead pastor into a healthy church.”

To help prepare your church for an effective pastoral transition, here is a copy of the pre-assessment survey, the transition process slide deck, and an articles giving more background to William Bridges work on Managing Transition.
