During the interim
journey, as the congregation and its intentional interim pastor work together
with integrity, the ultimate goal is to bring a congregation to a point of
knowing and accepting where it has been, of being able to define where it is
and where it wants to go, and of having the ability to commit itself to a new
vision and new leadership as it moves not the future. Temporary Shepherds: A Congregational

“And this is my prayer:
that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so
that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless

through Jesus Christ – to the glory and praise of God.” Philippians
1:9-11
