Overview

Picture
Transitional Ministry Training is a joint venture of the trainers and Amigo Centre, in consultation with Mennonite Church USA, Mennonite Church Canada and the four Great Lakes area conferences.     

Registration requires a letter of recommendation for training from a conference minister, and the completion of a readiness assessment prior to the training event. The intended outcome is greater self-understanding regarding the nature and demands of transitional ministry.  Assessment results help to establish learning goals for the event, and future professional development.   


Participants are encouraged to prepare by reading one of four recommended books.  A list will accompany registration confirmation.       

In-depth instruction in the developmental and process tasks of transitional ministry is integrated with critical incident case studies. Extensive resources for future transitional ministry are provided.

- Unique dynamics of Transitional Ministry
