Give

Hold up the arms of the next generation.

Every gift goes directly to the care of pastors and their families in the Des Moines Metro. Mentorship, retreats, restoration when burnout has done its work.

Why give

Pastors carry the church. Someone needs to carry them.

There is no line item in most church budgets for the care of the pastor. There is no insurance policy that covers spiritual exhaustion. There is no system that catches a pastor before they fall.

Church For Pastors is carried by people who have seen what happens when shepherds are left alone in the weight of leadership and who've chosen a different posture. They've decided to step in like Aaron and Hur for the ones still holding the call, helping steady tired arms so pastors can remain faithful in what God has entrusted to them.

Where it goes

Five rhythms of care.

Every dollar funds the work named in our vision: worship, teaching, fellowship, intercession, and restorative ministry for pastors and their families.

  1. 01

    Worship

    Centered on Christ. The source and end of all our work.

  2. 02

    Teaching

    Sound, sustaining truth for those entrusted with truth.

  3. 03

    Fellowship

    Real friendship across the long arc of ministry.

  4. 04

    Intercession

    Prayer that goes the distance, on behalf of those who pray for everyone else.

  5. 05

    Restorative Ministry

    Tangible care for the weary, the burned-out, the post-ministry.
