Nate Bowers reminds churches that Pastor Appreciation shouldn’t be confined to October, because pastors shoulder far more than Sunday services—countless unseen hours of prayer, counseling, and care. He urges congregations to “give back time” through practical help—meals, childcare, home projects, real vacation and Sabbath—so pastors can rest and lead with renewed joy.
More Than a Month: Honoring Our Pastors Year-Round
If you’re an elder, board member, or committed church member, let me encourage you to take Pastor Appreciation Month a step further this year. Beyond a kind note or public recognition, ask yourself:
Does our pastor have a retirement plan?
Are we making steady contributions on their behalf?
Who’s helping our pastor stay financially on track?
Volatility: A Wild Ride
One of the Ways We Give Back
Servant Solutions is committed to Serving Those Who Serve by giving back directly to the Kingdom through its Newly Credentialed Pastor Program. This initiative provides retirement contributions of up to $1,500 to pastors within five years of achieving their highest level of credentialing, helping them establish healthy saving habits early in ministry. It’s one more way Servant Solutions supports pastors in building financial security and confidence for a lifetime of Kingdom impact.
The Next Chapter of Your Calling Begins with a Plan
Retirement isn’t the end of your calling—it’s a new season to serve God and others in fresh ways. The right financial plan can give you the clarity and confidence to step into that season with peace of mind. In this blog, discover how Servant Solutions’ free financial planning tools and personal guidance can help you prepare for the future while staying true to your mission.
Housing Allowance...Both Now and Then
David Boots sheds light on the often-misunderstood Minister’s Housing Allowance and why it’s one of the most powerful financial tools available to credentialed ministers. He explains how saving through a 403(b) Church Plan like Servant Solutions allows you to receive tax-exempt income both now and in retirement—an advantage worth understanding early. Are you making the most of this benefit for your future ministry and financial freedom?
