FAQs

I am a seminary student who will soon be graduating. How could I explore becoming a participant in one of the Transition into Ministry programs?
Make direct contact with any of the projects that fit your interest. Each program is responsible to recruit their participants.

Can churches or other institutions apply to be a part of the Transition into Ministry Program?
No. From time to time, specific sites are identified by the Endowment and are invited to submit a proposal. At this time there are no plans to enlarge the number of congregations involved in the Transition into Ministry Program.

Are there any publications about the learnings coming out of this program?
An Alban Institute/Transition into Ministry publication by David Wood is now available here. Plans for web-based resources about how to start, administer, and review a TiM-style program are being developed, and the Alban Institute plans to publish a book of learnings in the fall of 2010. This material will be posted here on this website as it becomes available or information will be provided as to how you can obtain a copy of materials available elsewhere.

Can I join the Transition Into Ministry Website?
If you are a current or alumni member, yes, go to the login section of the website.  Otherwise, please join our email newsletter and we will keep you informed of additional ways to connect with other people who are interested in transition into ministry issues.
