Pastors4Pastors
Pastors need Pastors too!
Recent data shows that 38% of Pastors in the US are seriously considering leaving ministry. This is up from 29% less than a year ago! Based on our observations, this number is likely to be conservative, especially when we consider all ministry/program staff in churches. This is why our Pastors4Pastors program is so important! Learn more below.
Pastors4Pastors seeks to provide ongoing support, encouragement and resource for pastors so they may be empowered and equipped to experience lasting and transformation health. Simply, we help pastors find and maintain health so they may have the greatest impact possible. This includes one-one one support, revitalization network support and resource support.
The main focus of Pastors4Pastors will be on self-care and overall health. It is not intended to be professional counseling though some emotional support will naturally be a part of this initiative. While the focus is on self-care and health, professional support, advice and mentoring may naturally be a part of the Pastors4Pastors initiative. We do not want to be one more task on a to do list or another appointment in an already busy calendar, but to initiate and provide transparent, authentic, empathetic support.
Pastors who are interested in participating should contact us!
Pastors4Pastors is open to all pastors, church and ministry staff (full and part-time).
