Pastor Appreciation Month—Why is it Important?
Regardless of your church or staff size, take care of the people who feel God’s call on their life to lead and take care of you. From ministry interns to senior pastors, we need them at their best, because they often see us at our worst.
Practicing Pastor Appreciation Year Round
October, or“Pastor Appreciation Month,” is a full month to tell your pastor how much you love them!

That’s pretty powerful!

October Prayer Guide
Every month, we feature people, events, and ministries we want our people to pray for. So, join us as we pray to and praise God for what He's done, because we're always better together.
