Learn moreMinistry leadership is a sacred calling — and it comes with unique pressures and challenges.
Through Clergy Care, a ministry of Focus on the Family Canada, pastors, ministry leaders, and their families can get compassionate, confidential, and Christ-centred care. Whether you are serving as a leader in a church, parachurch organization, or faith-based ministry, we are here to walk alongside you so you can continue serving with strength, faith, and endurance.
We believe God has ordained three foundational institutions for the good of society: the church, the family, and government.
The church plays a vital role in sharing the love of God and the message of repentance and salvation through Jesus Christ. Because of this sacred responsibility, those who lead in ministry often carry spiritual, emotional, and relational burdens that are not always visible.
That is why we have established unique support systems for pastors and ministry leaders — extending to anyone serving in a leadership role within a church or ministry organization.
Your calling is unique — and so are the challenges you and your family may face. That's why we want to ensure you have access to registered Christian counsellors who understand the realities of ministry life.
If you or a member of your family would benefit from support, we invite you to reach out to connect with one of our Master's level registered Christian counsellors. This counselling line is exclusively for pastors, ministry leaders, and their immediate family members, and your call is free of charge.
Hundreds of ministry leaders have found rest, renewal, and perspective through Kerith Retreats — a place of respite from the pressures of faith-based leadership.
These retreats are designed specifically for pastors and ministry leaders to experience a rested, guided sabbath conducive to spiritual restoration and deepened intimacy with Christ.
