Stepping In: The Art Of Leading A Church Through Transition

"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." -- 1 Peter 4:10-11

It is not always easy to recognize your role when your calling is to serve others during times of transitions, especially when those 'others' are entire churches going through change.

Transitional ministry was not how Pastor Jacqui envisioned herself serving her church. It wasn't even the church she thought she'd serve.

After an intervention by the FBI, though, she found herself leading a church in crisis in a different denomination from what she'd always known. Even more surprising, she discovered God had already gifted her with all the skills and experience she needed to do the job well.

This is the story of how one woman discovered her calling for transitional ministry revealing, in the process, many of the factors to be considered if transitional ministry feels like a calling for you.
