Questions to Ask the Search Committee and Elders
One of the purposes of the interview is to get to know each other. I like a quote from Wade...
When a preacher stays a long time, usually, the church doesn't like the next preacher.
I volunteer to be the next preacher they don't like.
During the six to eighteen months Gail and I work with them,
they have time to grieve their losses and wisely select their next preacher.
This website describes how we do it.

My wife, Alisa, and I were in the first Interim Ministry workshop Jerrie conducted. It was most informative and helpful. This book is an excellent summary of the workshop and thorough guide to getting started in interim ministry, and for churches to understand how it can work positively. There are supplementary resource recommendations inside. Preachers, elders, deacons and other church members can work toward better communication, relationships, transitions, and longer term preacher tenures by using the ideas in this book.
