SENIOR PASTOR TRANSITION PLAN
As Peninsula Community Church looks toward the future, we want to approach leadership with prayerful wisdom and intentionality – honoring what God has done among us while preparing well for what lies ahead.
This transition plan is designed to provide continuity, shared leadership, and long-term health for our church. We believe healthy pastoral ministry includes mentoring future leaders, sharing responsibility, and building sustainable rhythms for both the church and its pastors.
The Board of Elders is proposing a model in which Pastor Jim will continue serving as Senior Pastor while gradually reducing portions of his workload, particularly in leadership oversight and preaching responsibilities. This approach allows for continuity in vision, teaching, and congregational life while creating space for shared leadership and pastoral development.
To support this vision, Peninsula Community Church is seeking an Associate Senior Pastor who will share in the preaching ministry, help lead and shepherd the staff, and serve as a key partner in the spiritual and organizational leadership of the church.
We see this as an opportunity to build on a strong foundation while preparing faithfully for the next season of ministry God may have for Peninsula Community Church.
