Care for Those Who Serve the Church

Join us in caring for retired pastors, widows, and ministry families in need by dedicating one Sunday’s offering this Advent season to the Relief Fund.

Watch the Ahlberg’s Story

This year, our focus turns to retired pastors and their familiesthose who have given their lives in service to the church—and now find themselves in a time of vulnerability.

The Look/After campaign invites individuals and churches to care for retired PCA pastors, widows, and ministry families facing financial need. Through your generosity, the Relief Fund provides immediate and ongoing support for those who have given their lives in service to the church—and now find themselves in a time of vulnerability.

“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

Your support cares for retired pastors and ministry staff like the Ahlbergs.

The need is greater than ever. In five years, the number of pastors nearing retirement and widows in need of support is projected to double. Your gift now ensures that widows and the children they support 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
