Intentional Transitional Ministry

The synod acknowledges the significant impact of transitional ministry in congregational life. The opportunities and challenges of this unique time in the life of a congregation require capable, trained, and experienced Interim Pastors.

The Minneapolis Area Synod Interim Ministry Advisory Team includes:
Rev. Steve Ganzkow-Wold; Rev. Hollie Holt-Woelt; Rev. Jim Nelson; Rev. Heather Hammond; and Rev. Mark Peterson. The convener of the Interim Pastors Network is Rev. Jim Hecker.

If you are considering Interim Ministry or interested in serving in the Minneapolis Area Synod, the first step in the process is to contact Pat Hansen at the synod office, 612-870-3610 or p.hansen@mpls-synod.org.
