The Lewis Center for Church Leadership has produced a new video-based learning resource for clergy preparing to begin ministry in a new setting. It includes video sessions presented by Lovett H. Weems, Jr., director of the Lewis Center. This resource draws on Dr. Weems's many years of experience in leading transition workshops across the country as well as the Lewis Center's research and expertise on pastoral transition. It helps pastors leave their current setting well and get off on the right foot as they begin ministry in a new congregation. The package also includes supplementary written materials, such as outlines, sample worship services, and tools for planning a successful transition.

• Stages of a Pastoral Move
• Leaving Well and Preparing the Way
• Entry into a New Setting
• The Start Up Period
• The Emotional Dimensions of Transitions
• Formulating a Personal Transition Plan

Presenter: Dr. Lovett H. Weems, Jr.
