We are a non-profit ministry comprised of experienced ministry leaders committed to caring for pastors and their spouses at risk of leaving the ministry prematurely. Our Vision and Mission To significantly reduce the number of pastors and ministry leaders leaving their ministries prematurely. Standing Stone Ministry’s three-fold mission: 1. Care for pastoral couples at risk of leaving the ministry. 2. Educate church boards and members on the challenges and needs of their pastoral teams and how they can be more effective in caring for them. 3. Establish mentoring relationships between experienced pastors and graduating students going into full-time vocational ministry. Healthy shepherds lead healthy flocks. Our goal is to help strengthen our ministry leaders and make sure they are healthy, by facing and processing their own issues and challenges in a safe and caring environment. Strong and healthy ministry leaders develop strong and healthy followers of Jesus. Strong and healthy followers of Jesus advance the Kingdom of God.
