I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way - in all your speaking and in all your knowledge.
1 Corinthians 1:4 and 5
Celebrate Ministry
God has entrusted pastors and church leaders with one of the most precious of assignments - the spiritual well-being of those in His flock. The Apostle Paul encourages us to to honor those who serve in church leadership by writing, "The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching" (1 Timothy 5:17).
Pastors and their families live under significant pressures. The PATH® encourages you to honor your pastors and pastoral families for the hard work, sacrificial dedication and multiple blessings provided by these special people.
