This qualitative, phenomenological study sought to understand how mentoring would make seminary-to-church transition successful and thus facilitate female pastors to attain effective and satisfactory pastoral ministry. Purposeful, criterion sampling provided females pastors who had or did not have mentors during seminary-to-church transition and women who mentored female pastors during the mentees' transitional periods. Data collection involved face-to-face interviews. Findings indicated that women pastors encountered ministry adaptation, competency, and fulfillment problems during seminary-to-church transition. However, mentoring played the biggest role in helping entry-level female pastors transition effectively, producing six favorable transitional outcomes: ministry adjustment, competency, fulfillment, longevity, personal and spiritual growth, and a stronger relationship with God.
