Directory of Ministries

Since 1989 the CareGivers Forum conference has brought together many ministries caring for vocational Christian workers and their families. They represent many types of resources for the pastor, pastoral family, church leaders, and missionaries. This resource directory lists ministries currently active in the network (attending the Forum in the last ten years) who meet basic criteria and have requested to be listed.  (Forum attenders: find criteria here) 

Depending on your background and experience, you may feel more comfortable with some organizations than with others. We suggest you visit their website and contact them directly to obtain other information that will help you in choosing the resources that are right for you. (See disclaimer below.)

Stillwater Pastor Retreat

Arabi GA

Retreat cabins in a relaxed secluded setting, providing a ministry of revitalization to Christian pastors, pastor’s wives and their families (including staff members, ministry leaders, missionaries and their wives).

Ten Minas Ministries

Fort Atkinson WI

Ten Minas Ministries recognizes that the amount of burnout and mental stress on pastors is at the highest level it has ever been. Constantly on "call" and always willing to help others, most pastors do not do an effective job of making time to take care of themselves. As such, we would like to support pastors and Christian leaders by providing a retreat for rest, restoration, and refocus.

The Center for Biblical Counseling and Spiritual Resource

Friendswood TX

The Center encourages ministry individuals and couples toward greater healing and wholeness through the practical application of real-life Biblical principles and lifeskills. Keith and Kathy Davis work together to offer a unique male/female perspective that is especially effective in working with couples, inviting them to spend 4-5 days in marriage intensives that bring renewal and refocused purpose to their marriage and to their ministry. The Davis' extensive pastoral ministry has uniquely qualified them to work with couples facing burnout, transition, trauma, crisis or any number of pressures resulting from ministry and marriage.

The Cottages at PGP

Rembert SC

The cottages at PGP exist to glorify God and provide a place of rejuvenation for pastors, Christian leaders, missionaries and their families. We have created a retreat with three guest cottages. The property amenities include a swimming pool, summer kitchen, 9 hole putting green, 9 acre pond with bass and brim, hot tub, barn with games for families. There are over 200 acres of Gods creation to enjoy.

The Ministry Wife Coach/Kristen Joy Coaching & Consulting, LLC

Oshkosh WI

The Ministry Wife Coach offers small group and 1:1 care for ministry wives and ministry leaders looking to heal and renew after the weight of ministry has taken its toll. Small group care provides a safe space to walk through trauma-informed healing practices within the context of a community that "gets it." 1:1 coaching cares for individuals' needs, commonly covering aspects of emotional, physical, mental, and relational health. The Ministry Wife Coach sees each woman as a whole being and utilizes an integrative approach to healing and renewal. Hope, healing, and joy *are* possible!
