Planned Succession & Succession Planning

After 20+ years at Gold Canyon UMC in Arizona, I began to sense it was time to retire from this unique church. In consultation with the bishop and cabinet, my successor was appointed In 2024 to become lead pastor in 2025.

With the blessing of our Bishop, we contracted with Jim Ozier and Church Difference Makers to lead us in this ‘Planned Succession.’ Their workshop training, coaching, and consultation with our entire leadership team paved the way for successful transition. If you are considering a Planned Succession to maintain and strengthen your church’s unique culture and to create renewed enthusiasm and direction for the church that leads to momentum and growth, hire Church Difference Makers!
