“Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching.” – 1 Timothy 5:17 ESV

What is The Shepherd’s Fund?

The Shepherd’s Fund was established by a generous donor to bless retired ordained pastors and missionaries, their spouses, and their widow/widowers who have faithfully served Christ and His church. The Shepherd’s Fund provides financial assistance when a medical or life stage crisis creates a hardship.

Our Mission

Acknowledging the charge in 1 Timothy 5:17 and recognizing the need of many pastors who have faithfully served for many years and in many cases with very little financial security to rely on in retirement. Our mission is to bless and serve retired pastors, their spouses, or widows who have faithfully served our Heavenly Father and His flock, by providing financial assistance when a medical crisis occurs and creates a hardship.

Our Vision

The Shepherd’s Fund was founded to help retired pastors, their spouses, or widows with a limited income, and who have health issues for which they can’t afford treatment or the financial impact it may have on their ability to provide for themselves.

Our vision is also to be a catalyst for generosity by inviting givers to be a part of caring for God’s shepherds.
