Care for Widows and Pastors in Need
Every month, at least one PCA pastor or their family experiences tragedy. It can be the death of a spouse, an unexpected medical issue, or an everyday activity that becomes a life-changing event.
The ministry leaders who serve our churches are often financially unprepared for these challenging moments. For over 50 years, the Relief Fund has provided temporary financial assistance needed to help ministers and their families overcome unexpected obstacles.
At the Relief Fund, we are invited into some of the hardest moments in the lives of our denominational family. Whether it’s a life-changing injury, the unexpected loss of a spouse, or hardship that comes when retirement savings is not enough, the Relief Fund is often the last resort for those in need. In five years, the number of pastors nearing retirement and widows in need of support is projected to double. Your gifts to the Relief Fund provide a practical way for the church to look after those who have faithfully served our churches.
Looking after those who looked after us
Too many ministry families experience financial need for which they are unprepared, and an increasing number of retired pastors and widows live near the poverty line. Pastors and ministry workers faithfully serve and care for Christ’s church. It’s our turn to serve them.
