Bless Your Pastor

Churches Love Their Pastors

Maybe it’s not surprising, but we were amazed over the past year how churches gave generously to their pastors to help reduce or eliminate debt through the Ministerial Excellence Fund.

This season, from pastor appreciation month in October, Thanksgiving in November, and Christmas in December, we want to encourage churches to be generous by taking a special offering to bless their pastor.  The added bonus? If a church takes a special collection to help a pastor pay down student loans or medical debt, the Board of Benefits Services will match their gift up to $2,000.  These matching funds are limited, and will be given on a first come, first serve basis.

Apply for matching funds

  • Your pastor has a PDF statement which includes lender information, account number, balance, and an address for remittance.
  • Please limit the amount of bills to be paid to a maximum of 2 payments.
