Getaways for Pastors
One of the main reasons pastors leave the ministry is stress. It is crucial to prioritize getting away from the daily demands of vocational ministry - for time alone with God to refresh your soul, together as a couple to focus on your marriage, or together as a family making memories. We hope this list will help you find an affordable, enjoyable vacation spot so you can rest and be renewed, ready to continue persevering in the work God has called you to.
