Sponsor A Pastor
Your pastor carries the weight of many. Here's a way to carry some of theirs.
"Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:2)
When you sponsor your pastor, you give them and their spouse an all-expenses-paid Teamness getaway: a few days to rest, reconnect, and be refreshed in their calling and their marriage.
How it works
Nominate a pastor. Tell us a little about them and why you'd like to bless them.
We'll reach out. We'll personally invite the pastor and spouse to complete a brief application. Let us know if you'd like your gift to stay anonymous.
Complete your gift. Once the pastor is approved, we'll follow up with you to complete your $1,500 sponsorship, which covers their full retreat experience.
Every couple completes our application so we can make sure Teamness is the right fit for this season of their life and ministry.
Up to 5 days/4 nights on a peaceful hobby farm for two people.
Restaurant gift certificates.
Life-giving activity - fun outings like live music, kayaking, boating, , and more.
Supportive and discerning hosts with deep ministry experience.
Made possible through your tax deductible donation.
