Support Pastors.

Make a Difference.

Many pastors face burnout, isolation, and a lack of appreciation. Together, we can change that. At Pretty Good Pastor Ministries, we believe pastors deserve rest, renewal, and recognition for the incredible ways they serve their congregations and communities. Your generous gift helps provide retreats and appreciation gifts that refresh pastors’ spirits, reaffirm their calling, and equip them to lead with greater joy and impact.

Sponsor a Retreat. offer Reflection and Rest.

Our Pretty Good Preaching and Pretty Good Pause retreats offer pastors an experience of rest, reflection, and connection in a setting that fosters growth and gratitude. Our Day Apart retreat offers a day of rest and reflection.

Every retreat is designed to give pastors a chance to recharge spiritually, emotionally, and physically. From great meals to thoughtfully crafted experiences, your support makes it all possible. Retreats are held at small, private lodges in the Hocking Hills of Ohio. Mornings and evenings are spent in reflection and learning while afternoons and dinners allowing for fun activities and great meals together.

  • Sponsor a Pastor: Help one pastor attend a life-changing retreat. Just $420 (or $35 a month for a year) covers the cost for a pastor to experience four days of renewal, including lodging, meals, and resources.

  • Sponsor an Entire Retreat: Cover the cost for a group of 8–12 pastors to attend one of our retreats. Your gift of $4,200 (or $350 a month for a year) ensures these pastors experience extravagant generosity and meaningful connection.

Give Appreciation Gifts. Show Pastors they’re Loved.

Not every pastor can take a retreat, but every pastor deserves to feel appreciated. That’s where Appreciation Gifts come in. These tangible tokens of care remind pastors that their work matters. These gifts will mostly come anonymously and will not be identified with Pretty Good Pastor Ministries. We can keep the secret if you can!

  • A $75 gift can provide a meaningful dinner out.

  • A $300 gift can fund a evening getaway for a pastor and their spouse.

  • A $600 gift can sponsor conference fees or a much-needed weekend away.

Your gift makes it possible for us to offer these acts of kindness tailored to pastors’ unique needs, showing them they’re valued.

Why Your Gift Matters

Most pastors give tirelessly, often without adequate pay or recognition. They pour out their energy, time, and care, but rarely receive the same in return. Through retreats and appreciation gifts, you’re helping them feel valued, cared for, and equipped to continue their vital work.

Ways to Give

  • Recurring Gift: Join a growing movement of people who believe pastors deserve to feel valued, refreshed, and supported. Your recurring monthly gift ensures that care and encouragement flow to pastors all year long.

  • One-Time Gift: Your immediate gift will directly impact pastors today.

Together, we can ensure pastors feel the love, appreciation, and renewal they deserve. Thank you for your generosity and for standing with us in supporting those who shepherd others.
