As we at Good Friday Collaborative resource clergy and communities who are concluding ministry, we have noticed five distinct Stages of ministry endings that most communities move through. While every community has their own unique story and process of ending, understanding these general Stages can help make sense of the natural work of endings. Congregations can find it challenging to move from one Stage to the next, and Good Friday Collaborative is ready to help you to transition through the Stages, without getting stuck.
