Probably depends on how different the denominations are. This brings up questions though - maybe good questions, but also tricky questions for the church - as to why the person would want to change. Might make the new one uncomfortable with the chance of the person jumping ship yet again.
Really though, we have too little information. We don't know the person, the area, the different denominations, etc.
Maybe the person would be more effective avoiding denominations altogether, and focusing on people, all people, outside the walls, etc.
One tried, and true way is to pray for the leader and ask God to get the minister's ideas in sync. With His ways, so you can stay in this church, and give God a timeline

I used to live in Illinois, and I went to a Baptist church. Work brought me to Nebraska, and there was no Baptist church of my denomination here, so I changed to another Baptist Denomination. I've also attended an E Free church in the past. The denomination was not as important as what the church teaches.
I imagine it's the same for pastor. There may not be a lot of jobs available in a smaller denomination, so he will instead seek a position in a denomination with the same beliefs. So just like I moved from denomination to another, a pastor could do the same.
How common or easy or difficult for a young ordained minister in one denomination to seek a pastoral position in another denomination? Thanks.
Some denominations have formal connections that allow ordination, retirement benefits, etc. to ministers who were originally ordained in another denomination. Depends on the denomination.
we've been over this. None of those provide an actual list. They provide lists of groups that supposedly make up numbers of denominations.
It also gets really creative on what it calls "denominations" labeling movements and other religions as "denominations".
It's ok to admit you just don't have a list and are repeating the lie that is perpetuated by someone with an agenda. Perhaps you are just that naive and you don't mean to perpetuate a lie.
