During a crisis we all have different coping mechanisms. As transitional pastors we have ways of moving through a crisis by bringing hope and clarity to what lies ahead. Click on the “Hints from the Front Lines” button below to explore the creative ways that some of our members are guiding their congregations.

The Work of the Leader
Due to the COVID 19 uncertainties many venues have decided to not open until the first quarter of 2021. IMN has decided for the safety of our faculty and participants to reschedule in-person classes starting in the spring of 2021.
The Good news is that training will continue through virtual learning. Participants will receive the same training as in-person, just in a new way. IMN is ready to assist in the best possible way so participants are ready to guide their congregations through these uncertain times.
Thank you for your continuing support.
