Who we are: We are Ordained Ministers in the United Church of Christ who have received specialized training to assist congregations during the "in between times" of called pastors. Depending on our level of experience and training we carry the designation of Intentional Interim Minister (IIM) or Professional Transition Specialist (PTS).
What we do: We assist congregations transitioning from one called pastor to the next. We help congregations work through the five developmental tasks:
1. Coming to terms with history
2. Developing Leaders
3. Discovering a new identity
4. Renewing Denominational Linkages
5. Commitment to a new future
Our relationship with the UCC: We seek and receive recognition as voice without vote at each General Synod where we advocate for the placement of our members. We educate Conferences and Associations about the designations and training of our members. We urge congregations, Conferences and Associations to use our skilled and trained interims to do the intentional work needed to help congregations transition from one called pastor to another, instead of someone without the special training. We continue to seek voice on the Executive Council of the UCC.
Pension Board Announcement: AUCCIIM Members can now continue their LIDI Coverage between Interim Assignments!
The AUCCIIM/UCC-PLL DataBase Is Up and Running: The joint database is populated. It is available to Placement Personnel and to AUCCIIM members. AUCCIIM members will be able to access and maintain their own profile. This does not replace the existing profile form used by Parish Life and Leadership. This is an electronic medium for Quickly matching AUCCIIM Members with openings in their area of interest and expertese.
Dues: Basic Membership - $30; Sustaining Member - $50
