ABOUT PASTOR THE PASTOR
We are a non-profit organization committed to shepherd, encourage, and provide support to clergy, their families, and the churches they serve. We do this primarily and proactively through getaway retreats, coaching, and consulting.
More than one third of pastors are at "medium or high risk" of burnout (WellBeing at Work study by University of Notre Dame). Eighty percent of clergy say the ministry has negatively affected their family. Needless to say, today's ministers are stressed, challenged, and tired...maybe like never before in human history. We are here to pastor the Pastor.
THE STATISTICS ARE STAGGERING
25% of pastors don’t know where to turn when they have a family or personal conflict.
57% of pastors would leave the ministry if they had somewhere else to go or another way to make a living.
60% of pastors believe that involvement in church ministry has negatively impacted their passion to spread the gospel.
90% of pastors work more than 50 hours a week, yet admit they feel their work is never done and the expectations never end.
