Transitional Interim Ministry Pastors
Transitional Interim Ministry (TIM) Pastors play a unique role in our church. When there is a congregation in need of someone to help them through a time of change and challenge, these pastors are there answering His call.
However, just as these pastors play a special role, they have special needs when it comes to benefits, especially during times of transition. Concordia Plans recognizes these needs and has created a benefit package specifically for TIM Pastors (e.g., age, health coverage, retirement status).
