Produktbeschreibung
The time of transition following the tenure of a long-term pastor is a unique season in the life of a congregation. However, the distinct elements and potential difficulties of these transitions can be overcome-these transitions can work! Churches can navigate this season of ministry with the confidence that God can facilitate a successful transition process. When Your Long-Term Pastor Leaves Your Church describes, through a survey of biblical narratives as well as through more current real-life examples, the different ways churches go through transitions after a long-term pastor-with good, bad, or mixed results. The book then discusses ways a congregation, its pastors, elders, and pastoral search committee can safeguard against a poor transition and promote one that is successful. It provides practical guidance for churches who not only want to prevent a problematic transition after a long-term pastor, but want to actually promote one that works.

Autorenporträt
Larry Gilpin has served as a PCA minister for thirty years with pastorates in Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia-where he helped prepare his congregation for his departure as a long-term pastor. He has served his current presbytery as its moderator, as chairman of its candidates and credentials committee, and as a member of its shepherding committee, where he assists ministers and congregations dealing with difficult seasons of ministry. He has a heart for mentoring younger ministers, shepherding other pastors, and assisting churches as they deal with pastoral transitions. He is a graduate of Covenant Seminary (M.Div., 1986, D.Min., 2006), where his doctoral dissertation focused on the process of pastoral transitions following the tenure of a long-term pastor. Currently he is a pastoral assistant at the First Presbyterian Church of Augusta, Georgia. He and his wife, Corley, have been married since 1987 and have two adult daughters.
