Ministerial Relief
Supporting Our Church Servants
Helping pastors, widows, and church employees in times of need.
Providing PCA church employees and their families with financial, spiritual, and emotional help since 1973.
How We Serve
Pastors and their families often find themselves in seasons of hardship in addition to the emotional and financial constraints of pastoral work. We partner with pastors and churches to support ministry employees and their families in need.
Financial Assistance
We provide financial assistance to PCA church servants and their families to help with basic expenses like food, housing, medical costs, and more.
Counseling Services
We provide access to affordable and confidential Christian counseling services to pastors and pastors’ wives through ministry partners.
“Words can never express our appreciation and gratitude for all you have done for us. We would have literally been on the streets if it wasn’t for the support you have given to us. God bless you a hundredfold.”

This ministry is 100% funded through the generosity of individuals and churches.
