Ministries for the Clergy
Pastors have overwhelming responsibilities with such a vast focus on serving others. In addition, often clergy have families that they need to take care of beyond the daily challenge of shepherding their church flock. These responsibilities can be daunting and often leave them emotionally drained and isolated.At Mount Airy, we endeavor to assist our pastor as much as possible through several ministries. We recognize that as servants of God, pastors can experience spiritual attacks that can cause extreme doubts and unbearable stress. Though as Christians we can lean through Scripture and be lifted up in prayer, discouragement can find its way into our lives. Nonetheless, our goal is to help augment his journey with the spiritual lives of the congregation and the growth of the kingdom of God.

The
Pastor Relations Ministry is twofold. First, it serves as a conduit of
encouragement to and the sharing of ideas with the Pastor as he seeks
to serve as the minister to the congregation and in his working with
additional staff of the church. This ministry should encourage the
Pastor to balance his time with church, family responsibilities, and
personal spiritual growth. Frequently, pastors minister to the needs of
the congregation and deal with the administrative demands of church to
the neglect of their personal well-being and their families.
