Interim ministry is...

            ...a pastoral ministry of Word and Sacrament in a congregation during the
            in-between time that follows the departure of a regularly called pastor and
            the arrival of another.

             ...a contracted and compensated arrangement wherein an ordained minister
            trained in interim ministry assumes the rights and duties in the congregation of  
            a  regularly called pastor.

             ...taking seriously the unique possibilities and positive potential for constructive
            ministry offered in the transition period - an intentional approach which intends
            to up build the congregation, strengthen its mission, and enhance its health.
