Don’t walk this season alone.
Many ministry leaders today find themselves navigating significant changes. Unfortunately, these transitions often come with a heavy burden - financial challenges, vocational disorientation, marital strife, and a sense of isolation within the community.
At Ministry Transitions, our mission is to not only walk with you through these challenging times but also to acknowledge that God can meet you in the midst of your struggles, working in profound ways.
What are the challenges facing outgoing ministry leaders and their families?
-
Trauma
A wide range of emotional, spiritual, and relational trauma is experienced by the leader and family members.
-
Loneliness
Leaders and their family lose relational and spiritual support from members of their community.
-
Finding a new job
The average ministry leader takes a year before finding a new job, and they frequently switch fields.
-
Unemployment benefits
Ministry leaders are not usually eligible for unemployment benefits, and many church leaders do not know this.
-
Financial devastation
Transitioning out of ministry causes financial hardship for pastors and leaders, resulting in housing relocation.
-
Spiritual deconstruction
Coming out of church or parachurch ministry, leaders experience spiritual deconstruction, and their future ministry suffers.
There is hope. You can find life after ministry.
We started a podcast because we wanted to tell leaders in transition that there is not only life after ministry, but there’s still ministry after ministry. Listen to some of our favorite stories.
