Support Through Every Season

We walk alongside congregations through every season of ministry—times of stability, transition, growth, and discernment. Whether your church is beginning a pastoral search, navigating a leadership change, discerning future direction or simply needing pulpit supply or guest speakers, we are here to help. Our goal is to ensure that no congregation journeys alone. Whatever your next step may be, we are ready to companion with you in this important work. 

• Seasons of Discernment
  Every congregation experiences seasons of discernment, whether facing transitions, responding to crisis, exploring new initiatives, or navigating natural life‑cycle changes. We walk alongside communities in these pivotal moments, offering tools, guidance, and accompaniment for faithful decision‑making.

• Looking for a Pastor
  • Congregational Search Committees
    
    When your pastor resigns or begins planning for retirement, your congregation enters an important season of pastoral search and transition. Each faith community has unique needs—whether you are discerning an interim pastor, a permanent pastor, a faith formation leader, or pulpit supply support. We are here to guide you through the first steps and help you navigate the process with clarity and care. Begin the conversation with Marilyn Rudy‑Froese, Leadership Minister, or your Regional Minister to explore the best path forward for your congregation.
