For those of you who have never had the blessing of being a pastor—and maybe you even wonder why pastor appreciation month exists—allow me to provide some clarity and suggestions for Pastor Appreciation Month
Pastor Appreciation Month—Why is it Important?
Practicing Pastor Appreciation Year Round
October, or“Pastor Appreciation Month,” is a full month to tell your pastor how much you love them! To tell someone you appreciate them is to recognize their full worth, to grasp the full quality of their nature and full significance of the role they have played in your life in a particular situation, circumstance, or season. That’s pretty powerful!
But then, I started thinking about our Great Shepherd—The Ultimate Pastor. Do we take time to appreciate Him?

Every month, we feature people, events, and ministries we want our people to pray for. So, join us as we pray to and praise God for what He's done, because we're always better together.

Pastor Appreciation Month—Why is it Important?
There was an old Isotoner Glove commercial featuring Hall of Fame Quarterback Dan Marino saying the tagline, “Take care of the hands that take care of you.” Regardless of your church or staff size, take care of the people who feel God’s call on their life to lead and take care of you. From ministry interns to senior pastors, we need them at their best, because they often see us at our worst.
