The Value of a Pastor and How You Can Support Him - Dr. Tim York

“It’s a different time in pastoring, and a lot of guys are struggling with staying in the ministry, staying in the pastorate, they feel like failures, so it’s really important for the church to show love back to them.”

Dr. Tim York talks about the critical need for churches to value their pastor and bless him and show him support, both during Pastor Appreciation Month and throughout the year.

Dr. York is moderator of the NAFWB and pastors two churches: The Grove Church and Rejoice Church. #NAFWB #BetterTogether #Pastors #PastorAppreciation #PastorAppreciationMonth
