As an ad hoc committee of the Board of Trustees we are responsible for helping the congregation navigate the transition from our last minister to a settled minister. This time period is defined as “interim.” Our focus is on the five developmental tasks (see expanded list for more detail on the developmental tasks)

  1. Coming to Terms with History
  2. Considering a New Identity
  3. Facilitating Shift in Power and Leadership
  4. Rethinking Denominational Linkage
  5. Making a Commitment to New Leadership and the New Future
