Pastor-In-Residence
Did you know -
Between 1,400 and 1,500 pastors in the United States are being forced out of their ministry each month, and that 23% of all pastors experience a forced resignation at some time in their ministry?Pastor-In-Residence (PIR) is a ministry designed especially for pastors who find themselves in this transitional point in life. The mission of the Pastor-In-Residence ministry is to encourage and support pastors in the vocational transitions of their lives, providing them with spiritual and emotional support, and networking them with churches and other ministries which provide opportunities to process unresolved personal conflict for possible re-entry into fulltime service.

If you would like to know more about PIR, know of an exited pastor who needs help, or you are a pastor who has been forced out of ministry, you may contact Mark at 952-431-9007, or e-mail him at Jeremiah33v3@visi.com
