The Tasks of the Transitional Pastor

So far in Season three we’ve talked a lot about the theoretical reasons for using a transitional pastor, but we haven’t really discussed what the Transitional Pastor is actually doing. So, today, I’m sitting down with Matt to ask him to dive into the details of the job description, tasks, responsibilities and the day-to-day activities of your transitional pastor. Discover the transformative journey of church transitions with Matt Bolling, Executive Director of Flourish Coaching, on the Church Renewal Podcast. Unpack the multifaceted role of a transitional pastor, expertly navigating the trio of preaching, care, and process to ensure a seamless shift from one pastor to the next.
