LuTMA is the new name for NALIP which has been training Lutheran Intentional Interim Pastors for more than 25 yeas. Lutheran Transitional Ministry Association (LuTMA, formerly NALIP)  touches this reality, encouraging curiosity and growth. Since 1997, we  have worked with thousands of pastors and multiple partners nationwide.  Our name change reflects our own ongoing process of transformation.

The Center’s goal for Interim Ministry training is to prepare leaders to  help congregations make the most of the time between the departure of  one pastor and the calling of another. The experience of hundreds of  congregations and their leaders confirms that what is done in this  transitional interlude greatly influences the formation of a solid  ministry team with the new minister and congregation.
