Ministry

guidance, support,

and accountability

to help you

fulfill yourcalling. 

It is time for a safe space community where ministry leaders receive spiritual guidance, discipleship, and edification.

HERE’S WHY

In order to build healthy churches that multiply faith-filled disciples,
its essential to provide education and support to their leaders.

65%*

of pastors report feelings of loneliness, and 18% admit these feelings occur frequently.

46% *

of pastors under 45 say they are considering quitting full-time compared to 34% of pastors 45 and older.

38%*

of U.S. pastors have thought about quitting full-time ministry in the past year, up 9 full points from the beginning of 2021.

GROWTH HAPPENS IN

COMMUNITY

As a community, we’ll help ministry leaders grow spiritually, evangelize, and disciple. This will involve:

  • Local cohorts

  • Conferences

  • Individual spiritual direction sessions

We’ll endeavor to provide a safe space for pastoral collaboration, which will bring unity to the Body of Christ and reduce competition and comparison. We’ll work with pastors to build strong spiritually and emotionally healthy teams.

I have a vision to develop a community of leaders who are actively pursuing spiritual growth, emotional health, and authentic peer relationships.

These leaders will be equipped to be faithful stewards of their homes, communities, and churches.
