*Intentional Interim Ministry Training* begins in September 2014
The Institute for the Practice of Ministry at the Des Moines Pastoral Counseling Center Is pleased to offer Intentional Interim Ministry training to pastors:
- who are mature in ministry, whose leadership skills are proven, who are called to connect their specialized gifts and graces to congregations with special transitional needs on a short- term basis (six months to three years), who are able to do ministry under pressure and prefer to re-set a congregation’s course swiftly and surely, and who enjoy providing leadership that restores and renews a congregation spiritually and procedurally.
If this describes your leadership style as well as your sense of call, this training is for you!
