Did you know that 90% of pastors feel inadequately trained to cope with ministry demands?

And that 30% of pastors are at risk of burnout?⁠

⁠As a point of contrast: while 1 in 3 pastors is at risk of burnout, only 1 in 5 business leaders is at risk.⁠

Church leadership has never been more difficult. Clergy burnout has been a problem for years and has only been amplified by the social upheavals of the first years of this decade, leaving many pastors isolated, exhausted, and disillusioned.

Though burnout is common, it is too often unnamed and overlooked. Whether you are a church staff member, a congregant, or someone who supervises or trains pastors, we invite you to download our Clergy Burnout Report. It will help you identify common causes of burnout and support you as you discover ways to move toward greater health and wholeness.

Join a Cohort to Find the Support You Need

If you’re seeking more personal and professional support, we invite you to reach out for cohort participation, or for coaching or consulting services. We go beyond traditional leadership training to cultivate resilience and belonging for pastors and Christian leaders in the midst of challenging social and cultural contexts.

Through cohorts, coaching, and consulting, we guide and empower leaders and teams to transform their service to God and neighbor in their local contexts—and in the process, to be transformed themselves.
