Disciples Interims (Formerly ADIIM)
Our Purpose is to:
- provide TRAINING for interim ministers and share other sources of training,
- offer ongoing collegial SUPPORT to interims, and
- CONNECT congregations, regions, and other parts of the church to support transitions and expand partnerships.
TRAINING – SUPPORT – CONNECTIONS
- Disciples Interims is a community of active and retired interim ministers, regional staff, and congregational leaders that offers training, support, and connections for clergy interested in serving as interims. Building on the work of The Association of Disciples Intentional Interim Ministers (ADIIM), Disciples Interims is forging connections with Disciple Home Missions, The College of Regional Ministers, and a network of experienced and aspiring interim leaders.
As of Fall 2023 Disciples Interims has offered four online training courses with over 90 students. Interim Ministry Basics is training offered by a team of experienced Disciples ministers at a fraction of the cost of training elsewhere. CCIW has scholarships available to help pay tuition for ministers in our area.
