Outgoing Pastor Transition Questionnaire

Clarifying the pastor’s next calling while protecting the health and future of the church

This questionnaire is designed to help an outgoing Lead Pastor, spouse or family, and church leadership discern a healthy transition. It will help clarify how you transition, what God may be calling you toward, and what the church and its next leader need in order to flourish.

Please answer openly and thoughtfully. You may save your progress and return later.
