OUR CHALLENGE

Across the church landscape, we are facing a soul care and mental health crisis.

Studies show that as many as 42% of pastoral leaders report suffering from burnout. Without relief or solutions, many leave vocational ministry altogether.

With each exit, they leave an immediate void and rippling repercussions felt across churches, families and communities.

The Pastors Collective exists to provide urgent relief, support and resources to our ministry leaders, so they can live well and finish strong.

Learn more about our goal to help 10,000 pastors & Christian leaders live well by 2027 and what you can do to help us rise to this challenge.

OUR MISSION

Based in Charleston, SC, The Pastors Collective is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping pastors, their partners and ministry leaders from all denominations learn to be well so they can build well.

Our mission is to address the real and difficult work of planting, pastoring, and leading churches by fostering soul care, curating community, developing resources, and continuing a national dialogue on mental health in ministry.

Learn more about renewal through retreats or find out how you can support our goal of helping 10,000 pastors and Christian leaders today.

OUR SOLUTION

Retreats

Restoration - mind, body and soul - begins with a hard reset and much-deserved rest. The Pastors Collective journey begins with our signature retreat experience designed to help individuals relax, restore and reconnect with God and like-minded ministry leaders.

Relationships

Life giving relationships that begin at these retreats continue through our Learning Cohorts. Meeting virtually each month, these small groups provide ongoing growth, learning and encouragement.

Resources

The Pastors Collective also connects individuals to valuable resources for continual healing and growth.
