Encouraging faithful ministry for the long haul.

We help godly men enjoy pastoral ministry longer by providing free support to them and their families.

Ways to support

Shepherd’s Friend is committed to encouraging pastors by offering our services at no cost. We rely on the contributions of our ministry partners, who make this ministry possible.

Why your support matters

Pastors often carry spiritual and emotional burdens while continually caring for others. Shepherd's Friend provides accessible coaching and biblical counseling so pastors don't have to walk alone.


Our support is designed to be practical and reachable: secure video-call sessions (so you don't have to leave home or office) and in-person sessions available in Kalamazoo.
