SERVE THOSE WHO
SERVE YOUR CHURCH
The Relief Fund is ready to partner with your church to provide for pastors, widows, and ministry workers in need.
“If we do not take care of those who invest their lives in ministry to our church, our communities, our country and the world I believe we have failed. These folks sacrificed to further the Kingdom of Christ and the Christian community has a responsibility to care for them.”
Jim, Donor and PCA church member
“Since our inception, our church has longed to have and maintain a heart for the principle found in James 1:27…Thus, every Christmas Eve, we commit to collecting and supporting our Denomination’s Look After Widow’s Fund.”
Rev. Scott Bull, Pastor Grace Community Church of Buford
“When I lost everything, I felt God was still taking care of me. God was very gracious and he set me up with [the Relief Fund], and I have been with them ever since.”
Peggy West, widow of PCA Pastor, monthly financial assistance recipient
