Interim Ministers Report

4th December 2019 @ 12:30 pm to 6th December 2019 @ 01:30 pm

524 South Fifth Street, Springfield, IL, 62701, United States

The Central/Southern Illinois Synod values the work of our pastors and those in Synodically Authorized Ministry who work with congregations in transition. We ask that you give regular feedback about your interim work with congregations. The reports you submit on-line are sent directly to Pastor Maureen Stein.

Are you finding any obstacles to providing pastoral basics, the first critical task of interim ministry: planning worship and preaching, pastoral care, and church administration? Please be specific.

As you observe congregational life – worship life, attendance, finances, commitment, participation – are there major issues confronting the congregation(s)? How is/are the congregation(s) dealing with these issues? Has anything about this changed over the past quarter?

How are you engaging the congregation concerning the issues you have identified? Some standard interim ministry approaches: coming to terms with history, exploring identity and direction, making leadership/operational changes, renewing ELCA/synod linkages, or committing to new leadership and a new direction.)

Describe any encouraging signs of renewal and growth in the past three months.

How can the synod staff support your work?
