Pastor and Pastor’s Wife Support Groups
We can often learn much and be encouraged just by getting together and discussion issues we are facing in the ministry. We have encouragement groups for both pastors and pastors’ wives.
Dr. Tim York will lead a Pastor Hangout. This will be an opportunity for pastors discuss any concerns they have and resources that might be available to them.
WNAC will lead a Pastor’s Wife Hangout. These sessions will be a time of fellowship and encouragement as well as providing resources to help support pastors’ wives.
Professional Counseling
From time to time, all of us could benefit from having someone we can talk to confidentially. The Executive Office, in partnership with Free Will Baptist North American Ministries, offers the Refresh Program for churches and pastors. A new resource of that program is confidential counseling through professional counselor Tom Jones. IM Inc., Free Will Baptist Foundation, and Richland Ave Financial are also partners/supporters of this program. Find out more at nafwb.org/refreshcounseling.
