Welcome to the Transition into Ministry Web site!
Transition into Ministry is the name of a Lilly Endowment funded program, coordinated with the Fund for Theological Education More history and background available here).
Our hope for this web site is that it will provide a way for past and current residents to connect with one another, and to provide congregations and institutions interested in the residency model the resources to explore beginning their own pastoral residencies. This site gives you access to a growing body of information, reflections, and resources on the early years of ministry, and the unique gifts and opportunities of the residency model.
The site is undergoing major changes. We appreciate your patience. If you need to get in touch with Transition into Ministry, please contact us at info@transitionintoministry.org
