Who we are: We are Ordained Ministers in the United Church of Christ who have received specialized training to assist congregations during the "in between times" of called pastors. Depending on our level of experience and training we carry the designation of Intentional Interim Minister (IIM) or Professional Transition Specialist (PTS).

What we do: We assist congregations transitioning from one called pastor to the next. We help congregations work through the five developmental tasks:

1. Coming to terms with history
2. Developing Leaders
3. Discovering a new identity
4. Renewing Denominational Linkages
5. Commitment to a new future

Our relationship with the UCC: We seek and receive recognition as voice without vote at each General Synod where we advocate for the placement of our members. We educate Conferences and Associations about the designations and training of our members. We urge congregations, Conferences and Associations to use our skilled and trained interims to do the intentional work needed to help congregations transition from one called pastor to another, instead of someone without the special training. We continue to seek voice on the Executive Council of the UCC.
