“[Our IMP Rep] was simply outstanding; he is tireless and made a huge difference. His willingness to offer guidance and advice, but resistance to ‘telling us what to do’ was a major catalyst for growth in our leadership.”

As a shepherd of a local congregation, I could not be more pleased with the positive changes in our congregation as a result of Interim Ministry Partners and their process. Not only did we end up hiring the most amazing minister (this was two years ago) but more importantly, IMP helped us transform ourselves into a much more loving and giving fellowship, more into the likeness of Jesus Himself. IMP far exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend them to any congregation that is searching for a minister, needs an interim minister, or wants to transform the culture of their membership.

With IMP’s guidance, we learned a great deal about our congregation during the transition between full-time ministers. We were able to identify a few weaknesses within our congregation and search for and locate a minister who would help address those areas. During that process, we did not miss out on getting the church body fed with timely and effective teaching and preaching. What a blessing to have IMP’s help and support before, during and after the hiring of our new minister.

This was a Spirit led process listening to Gods calling for his minister at Oliver Creek. [Our IMP Rep] and his team were very helpful in navigating the process, orienting ourselves to a listening position, and providing the tools and resources to keep us on track. Their experience and insights proved to be true blessings from God.
