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.

2008 Pictorial Directory in Process: We started a pictorial directory at the 2007 annual meeting. The 2008 will only be available to members, including judicatories. We will be sending the proofs to members to ensure your information is updated and correct. Watch your email for more information.

Codes of Conduct available: The Code for Local Churches and the Code for Ordained Ministers is available for download. Help stop those pesky problems by reminding congregations and Beloved Former Pastors of what is and is not appropriate.

AUCCIIM/UCC-PLL DataBase nears implementation: The joint database is in its final design stage. It will be made available to placement personnel in our Conferences/Associations. Access and entry will be restricted to placement personnel and members of AUCCIIM. AUCCIIM members will be able to add and maintain their own combined profile. This does not replace the existing profile form, yet. It is an electronic medium for Quickly matching AUCCIIM Members with openings in their area of interest and expertese.

Post your Employment Opportunities!

Judicatories and Congregations may submit their openings.
