are you a pastor in need of support from fellow pastors?

are you a pastor in need of support from fellow pastors?

The work you do for Jesus, the Church, and your community is incredible. You’re leading people towards life-giving relationships with God while pouring into them with love and support. There is undeniable beauty and fulfillment in this God-given calling, but we know it isn't easy.

Leading a ministry also comes with stresses and pressures that deeply impact your church life, personal life, and spiritual life.  You need to address these struggles with an understanding support system to handle pastoral pressures in healthy ways. That’s why the Pastor Circle exists. You’re why the Pastor Circle exists.
