📘 Utilizing the metaphor of a relay race, The Changeover Zone provides step-by-step, hands-on application of techniques and principles that bring about successful pastoral transitions--passing the baton from one pastor to her/his successor. While the concepts apply to any type of pastoral transition, the techniques are specifically designed to improve the transitions when new churches are going through their first pastoral change and when churches are receiving a new pastor following a long-tenured pastor.
