Care for Those Who Care for the Church

Care for Those Who Care for the Church

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after…” – James 1:27

Through the Relief Fund, your generosity helps look after retired pastors, widows, and ministry families by providing financial assistance and support during times of need.

Retired PCA Pastor Mike and his wife, Robin Ahlberg, Relief Fund Recipients

This year, we share the Ahlbergs’ story as a reminder that many retired pastors, widows, and ministry families face unexpected challenges after years of faithfully serving the church.

Through your generosity, the Relief Fund provides practical help for essentials like housing, groceries, utilities, and medical expenses when they are needed most. Give today to care for those who care for the church!

“The Geneva Relief Fund has helped us beyond words or expectation. Humanly speaking, we do not know how we would make ends meet without you.”

– Mike Ahlberg, Retired PCA Pastor

Your support cares for those in times of need like the Crystal.

The need is greater than ever. By 2035, the number of PCA pastors and their wives needing financial assistance will triple. Your gift now ensures that pastors and ministry workers receive care and provision during the most difficult season of their lives. Your gift brings hope and help to widows and ministry families in their time of need. Will you give today to care for those who have faithfully cared for the church? 

“I served as a full-time pastor in the PCA for almost 40 years, and have never seen a ministry like the Geneva Relief Fund. I thank God for them.”

— Mike Ahlberg, Retired PCA Pastor
