Church Pastor Strengthening
Keep your whole self strong throughout your ministry
You’re more than a pastor—you’re a human with needs beyond Sunday services. Let’s make sure those needs are met.
When you’re part of Converge, you gain our professional, financial and relational resources along with people to invest in you—along with people you’ll be able to invest in too.

Here’s what pastors are saying about Converge
Dating back to shepherds on the Middle Eastern plains (Genesis 29:2–3), feeding, protecting and growing a flock works best when we coordinate and collaborate with others. I’m grateful for and better because of fellow Converge leaders and churches.
Great videos. Short, sweet and challenging. Looking forward to growing together as a board using this tool to help us be a unified team moving in God’s direction for his people.
This residency has provided room for me to recruit, train, organize and lead a team toward preparing to plant a church.

From Moment to Momentum
God’s catalyzing a movement in Gen Z—and this Arizona church won’t be left out. Details fought for real estate in Hunter Perry’s brain this past September as he and a team of 71 volunteers and staff took by storm Rock Point Church in Queen Creek. They were stuffing swag bags, transforming the lobby, checking sound, […]
