Pastor Matt Hadley has served in full-time ministry for over 25 years, spending the last 20 at Clatskanie Community Church where he has pastored in various roles before transitioning into the lead pastor position.

He holds a BA in Bible Theology and Speech Communication from Multnomah University and a Master of Divinity from Multnomah Seminary.

Everything he teaches on leadership transitions (the humility, the honor, the waiting, the plan), he has lived on both sides of.

Transitioning with grace
“the art of handing off with honor”

Leadership transitions are one of the most defining moments in ministry — and one of the least talked about.

This lesson walks through what it actually looks like to hand off with honor: the character it requires, the conversations it demands, and the plan that makes it possible. Whether you are stepping in, stepping out, or still in the waiting — this teaching will meet you there.
