Gilpin, Larry

The time of transition following the tenure of a long-term pastor is a
unique season in the life of a congregation. However, the distinct
elements and potential difficulties of these transitions can be
overcome—these transitions can work! Churches can navigate this
season of ministry with the confidence that God can facilitate a
successful transition process. WhenYour Long-Term Pastor Leaves Your Church describes, through a survey of biblical narratives as well as through more current real-life examples, the different ways churches
go through transitions after a long-term pastor—with good, bad, or
mixed results. The book then discusses ways a congregation, its
pastors, elders, and pastoral search committee can safeguard against a
poor transition and promote one that is successful. It provides
practical guidance for churches who not only want to prevent a
problematic transition after a long-term pastor, but want to actually
promote one that works.

Larry Gilpin has served as a PCA minister for thirty years with pastorates in Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia—where he helped prepare his congregation for his departure as a long-term pastor.
