We Know You Care

Dear Pastor,

The calling you’ve embraced is extraordinary. Leading your congregation, preaching weekly, and guiding your team are immense responsibilities. You know the value of teamwork—you can’t do it all alone. That’s where Onward comes in.

Onward exists to care for, connect, encourage, and equip emerging ministry leaders. Our goal is simple: help your new & young leaders thrive spiritually and confidently in their calling.

Through our mentorship program, we’ll walk alongside you to develop leaders who are:

  • Spiritually grounded and emotionally cared for.

  • Skilled in teaching, preaching, and team-building.

  • Ready to navigate today’s cultural challenges with wisdom and confidence.

With years of ministry experience, I understand the need for leaders to last, not just survive. Let’s partner to ensure your team flourishes in their God-given roles—today and for the long haul.

Together, we can strengthen the next generation of ministry leaders!
