About Intentional Interim Ministry

Our historic Wesleyan tradition provided pastoral and pulpit leadership by circuit riding preachers. These pioneers were intent on "spreading scriptural holiness throughout the land." Today's setting calls for this same pioneering spirit to care for the special needs of congregations. Interim ministers are experienced clergypersons, committed to the Wesleyan Way and the UMC, and have proven effective and fruitful in their service to Christ and the church.
