Overview
Mission
The pastoral landscape is strewn with disheartened and burnt-out pastors who have become disillusioned with their profession. Many have joined the "great resignation" wave after the covid-19 pandemic and left the ministry. The profession is rife with dysfunctional obstacles, making it understandably challenging. Our belief is that self-awareness is crucial for pastors to not just survive but also prosper, regardless of the difficulties and obstacles they encounter in their vocation. We envision every pastor engaging with cultivate growing physically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually, with the wise guidance of experienced pastors who have faced similar challenges. Our hope is that each pastor engaged with cultivate will never feel alone, will be on a trajectory of personal growth, and finding joy in their ministry despite the challenges. We will do through: a.spiritual direction b.coaching and consulting c.connection with cohorts of pastors
What it reported doing in 2024
The statistics on pastors arent pretty. Heres a small snapshot: 42% of pastors have considered quitting full-time ministry due to stress, isolation, and political division. 75% report experiencing significant stress-related crises during their ministry. 70% of pastors say they dont have close friends. 80% of pastors believe pastoral ministry has negatively affected their families. 84% of pastors feel they are on call 24/7. This is the work of cutivate: leveraging the experience of seasoned pastoral work to come alongside pastors with coaching, spiritual direction, and support. The work has flourished in its first full year milestones include: 10 pastors in a coaching relationship, with numbers growing 1 year-long consulting project with a church in san jose 2 one-day consultations with churches 5 spiritual directees one of our pastoral coaching clients in socal recently wrote, i just wanted to say thank you for working with me as my coach. Starting a church in this cultural moment is daunting but your experience and all of your inner work comes through each session. I also appreciate the resources you provide each and every time we meet whether it is a book to read, a person to meet, or an event to attend. You are truly a godsend and a gift.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
