YEAR-END CAMPAIGN | NOV 2 – DEC 31, 2026
Keeping Pastors in the Game
A serious mission with a playful spirit: every pastor needs a team behind them to stay healthy for the long season. This year-end, we are inviting you to invest in that team.
WHEN THE CAMERAS ARE OFF
The part that isn't so funny.
It's easy to forget there's a person under the jersey, or behind the pulpit.
Valued for what they produce.
Cheered when things go well, questioned when they don't.
Life in a fishbowl.
Their marriages, their kids, and their private lives become public property. Their spouses feel it too.
Playing hurt.
Pressure to hide the injury and keep going, because sitting out feels like letting the team down.
Lonely at the top.
Surrounded by people, but often with few they can be honest with.
Identity tied to the role.
When the season goes badly, who they are feels like it's on the line too.
24%
Last year, nearly one in four pastors seriously considered stepping away from ministry.
Source: Barna, Pastors Considering Quitting (2025), More than four in ten who considered quitting said they felt lonely and isolated (Barna, 2022).
ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
Every great moment on the field has a team behind it.
Every Sunday, pastors take the field. They preach, counsel, celebrate, and grieve alongside their people, usually with the whole church watching. What most people never see is the team that keeps them healthy enough to show up week after week. This season, we’re telling that story.
Pastors
PlayersCalled to shepherd their churches and serve their communities through every kind of season, the wins and the hard losses.

You
the supportersEvery gift funds that care and keeps it free for the pastors who need it most. When you give, you join the team.
“Behind every pastor who shows up is someone who showed up for them.”
NOW THROUGH DECEMBER 31
Over the coming weeks, you’ll hear from pastors themselves: the moments that keep them going, why they’re still here, and the people who stood behind them. It’s a highlight reel worth cheering for.
THE BIG DIFFERENCEWhen a pro athlete goes down, a whole team runs onto the field. When a pastor goes down, most face it alone. CrossPoint is the team behind the scenes.
