How we can help.

  • Marriage

    There is often a huge amount of stress on a marriage when in ministry. We are here to listen and provide the care you need to help your marriage thrive.

  • Family

    Whether it’s issues with your children or dealing with a family emergency, we want to help ensure that your family is healthy and cared for.

  • Ministry Spouses

    We are here to provide a safe place for ministry spouses to share frustrations, get godly wisdom and be encouraged. Pastor’s wives are often the loneliest person in the church. We can help.

  • Traumatic Events

    Trauma can come in all shapes and sizes, and it rarely comes at a convenient time. We are here to ensure that you’re not alone when you are walking through even the darkest of valleys.

  • Burnout

    Burnout is more common than you might think. We want to help ensure your longevity and health as you serve. We will help you identify burnout and help you find God’s rest and healing.

  • Financial Struggles

    Those in ministry have some unique challenges when it comes to money. We are here to provide a listening ear and guidance from Scripture, informed by our own personal experiences.

  • Unhealthy Habits

    Sometimes we develop unhealthy habits in an effort to numb pain or relieve stress. We are here to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment for you to express the struggles you face. And we will walk with you as you get the help you need.

  • Depression & Loneliness

    People in ministry get depressed, too. God cares deeply about your pain, yet your enemy would have you suffer alone in silence. Through friendship and soul care, we want to give you a safe place to share your struggle, and to help make sure you get the help you need.

  • Church Leadership

    Many pastors were not prepared in seminary for all of the challenges of church leadership. We want to help you resolve conflict effectively and lovingly lead your people..
