Leadership Transitions
“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”
– C. S. Lewis
Leadership Transitions
Leadership transitions are a time to honor those who have led well while preparing intentionally for a new season of ministry ahead. As a Network, we are here to help resource and support our ministry leaders and churches as they position themselves to bring the Gospel to the lost in their region. Some of the resources we make available to our Network churches are interim pastors, succession plan coaching and support in pastoral search.
Interims
The role of an interim pastor is to shepherd a congregation toward a positive future vision, allow space for transition and prepare the congregation for a healthy relationship with new leaders. The need for an interim pastor may occur when a Senior Pastor plans to take a sabbatical or when a church is searching for a new pastor due to retirement or other means.

Succession Planning
There is not a singular pattern or set of rules for succession planning because there are many differentiating factors that make each succession process unique. However, it is proven that an effective succession plan requires planning and intentionality. Whether you are 26 or 62, the SNE Network is here to help guide, resource and counsel you on your succession planning journey. It is never too early to begin. We want to help you take ownership of your future succession so that the transition process will be fruitful for both you as the exiting minister and your church as they welcome their new leader. Contact our Superintendent today to start the conversation.
Pastoral Search
We know how important it is to have the right people on your team. Ensuring your team is staffed with quality men and women is vital for the advancement of the Gospel. We want to help you find a long term, healthy fit, for your church. If you have a vacant role that you are looking to fill, please contact us with a job description and we will help connect you with quality candidates from within our Network.
