Ministry leaders face a myriad of new challenges in their churches and personal lives every single day--and they need support. The Alliance of Renewal Churches is a growing network of evangelical, sacramental, and Spirit-filled church leaders, that is designed with the care and concern of those individual leaders in mind. We exist to encourage ministry partners and pastors with leader care, coaching, community, worship and development. Come experience *real* community where leaders show up for other leaders. - [home](/ "home") - [about us](/mission "about us") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [events](/events "events") - [contact](/contact "contact") - [donate](/donate "donate") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [home](/ "home") - [about us](/mission "about us") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [events](/events "events") - [contact](/contact "contact") - [donate](/donate "donate") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") --- ## URL: https://www.allianceofrenewalchurches.org/mission ### Title: MISSION ### Page ID: 6970254 ### Content: Everything we do is to surround pastors and ministry partners with a circle of support. Though we are called the Alliance of Renewal *Churches*, our primary focus is actually caring for the *individual leader*. We believe that healthy church cultures begin with healthy leaders, so we are intentional in our pursuit to provide safe communities for leader-support. Our pastors and ministry partners come from evangelical, sacramental, and Spirit-filled traditions so we gather with expectancy, and have a rational disregard for the impossible. At our Life Together Events we're encouraged with coaching, community, worship, and development -- and we can't wait for you to join us to experience it for yourself! - [home](/ "home") - [about us](/mission "about us") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [events](/events "events") - [contact](/contact "contact") - [donate](/donate "donate") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [home](/ "home") - [about us](/mission "about us") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [events](/events "events") - [contact](/contact "contact") - [donate](/donate "donate") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - There are very few safe places where attention and care are given to leaders who spend themselves on others. - Many leaders in the church are lonely, without close friends or meaningful peer relationships, leaving them vulnerable to depression and discouragement. - Those who are intentionally cared for and connected, stand a better chance of thriving in ministry—those who aren't are likely to burn out and give up. - Supported leaders have better capacity to love, connect with, and care for their families, staff, lay leaders, and the people they serve. - Leaders who experience greater growth in emotional, relational, and spiritual wholeness will grow in healthy and non-manipulative ministry practices. --- ## URL: https://www.allianceofrenewalchurches.org/staff ### Title: STAFF ### Page ID: 6970256 ### Content: The Alliance of Renewal Churches is comprised of countless incredible leaders and vocational ministry workers from across the nation, without which, this organization wouldn't exist.

Pastors, Executives, Worship Leaders, and other ministry leaders can benefit from our circle of support. Whether you've been serving in ministry for decades, or just getting started, you have a safe place and friendships waiting for you here.  To be clear, we are *not* a denomination. We're more of a movement! While most denominations gather around a theological statement, the Alliance of Renewal Churches is gathered around the desire for life-giving, trusting, Christ-centered relationships.  If you are interested in joining, simply show up! No hoops to jump through or applications to fill out. When you come to our Life Together Events and participate in this community, you're one of us.  There isn't a formal process or special fee to become a member of the Alliance of Renewal Churches. We simply ask that you regularly attend Life Together Events and consider how you and/or your church can support this mission financially. Quality leader-care keeps the Church of Christ healthy, Spirit-led, and growing... and that's well worth the investment. We talk a lot about leaders caring for other leaders and our Life Together Events, but you might wonder what else the Alliance of Renewal Churches does. There are several other benefits from this network of support that happen organically or formally: *“Being a part of the Alliance of Renewal Churches provides leaders the* *opportunity* *to step into* *the* *type of community that so many of us are starving for.*  *The people truly embody the call to offer* *and receive* *the loving care of Jesus."* *Mike said what he loves is "an openness to the Spirit and to authenticity* *that is characteristic of most Alliance of Renewal Churches' leaders."* - [home](/ "home") - [about us](/mission "about us") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [events](/events "events") - [contact](/contact "contact") - [donate](/donate "donate") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [home](/ "home") - [about us](/mission "about us") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [events](/events "events") - [contact](/contact "contact") - [donate](/donate "donate") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - Seminars & leader development opportunities - Seminary training connections - Consultation & mediation - Preaching resources - Coaching services - Call committee consultation & support - Networking for job placement - Ongoing prayer support --- ## URL: https://www.allianceofrenewalchurches.org/events ### Title: EVENTS ### Page ID: 6970260 ### Content: What we do is leader care. *How* we do it is through "Life Together" Events.  Nobody understands the challenges and needs of a leader like a fellow leader. Our support network connects pastors & ministry leaders to one another in group, day away, and retreat settings that encourage free and open discussion in an accepting and confidential community.  - [home](/ "home") - [about us](/mission "about us") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [events](/events "events") - [contact](/contact "contact") - [donate](/donate "donate") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [home](/ "home") - [about us](/mission "about us") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [events](/events "events") - [contact](/contact "contact") - [donate](/donate "donate") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") --- ## URL: https://www.allianceofrenewalchurches.org/contact ### Title: CONTACT ### Page ID: 6970262 ### Content: Have questions about joining the Alliance of Renewal Churches?  - [home](/ "home") - [about us](/mission "about us") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [events](/events "events") - [contact](/contact "contact") - [donate](/donate "donate") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [home](/ "home") - [about us](/mission "about us") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [events](/events "events") - [contact](/contact "contact") - [donate](/donate "donate") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") --- ## URL: https://www.allianceofrenewalchurches.org/donate ### Title: DONATE ### Page ID: 6970264 ### Content: For decades, people have presumed that a pastor’s commitment to the church would easily supersede any grievances regarding meager wages, exhausting hours, or a barrage of relational conflicts. While some congregations may be relatively unscathed by these kinds of troubles, we recognize that for the Church-at-large, times are tough. Pastors are joining “the great resignation” at alarming rates. According to Barna, about 38% of Protestant senior pastors surveyed have considered leaving ministry over the past year. Among pastors under age 45, that number rose to 46%. The Alliance of Renewal Churches exists to encourage and equip leaders in the face of everyday obstacles and disappointments so that the Church of Jesus Christ will flourish. Here's what Nate had to say about his experience in our network: *“The sea we call the American Church can often be turbulent, taxing, and treacherous.* *The Alliance of Renewal* *Churches provides me with an ark  that can be trusted to weather that sea, what storms may come.”* If you are part of the Alliance of Renewal Churches, or simply believe, like we do, that the Church needs healthy leaders who are loved and supported, you can make a one-time donation or recurring donation with the button below or by mail at this address: - [home](/ "home") - [about us](/mission "about us") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [events](/events "events") - [contact](/contact "contact") - [donate](/donate "donate") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [home](/ "home") - [about us](/mission "about us") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [events](/events "events") - [contact](/contact "contact") - [donate](/donate "donate") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") --- ## URL: https://www.allianceofrenewalchurches.org/staff-values ### Title: STAFF VALUES ### Page ID: 6970266 ### Content: We are can-doers. First, we say ‘yes’--then, we figure out how we will get it done. We’re big on ownership. The ARC isn’t just a job; it’s the community we also benefit from. So, we’re highly motivated to treat it with care. Slow change is not a fruit of the Spirit. Leaders need what we provide, so we work with urgency. Why put limits on what God might want to do? Daydreams, aspirations, and wild ideas are welcome. We celebrate and affirm one another’s work but care enough also to be candid about how we can take something “good” and make it “great.” Honest reviews and gentle feedback are regular and treasured practices. This group is unique. We capitalize on our gifts, experiences, and perspectives by collaborating with open minds. Not only that, but we really like each other! So, we laugh, sing, pray, and do life together. Change is good and healthy, so we don’t get too bent out of shape when the winds of change blow in our direction. We’re flexible and adaptable. We pivot and keep moving. We excel at problem-solving, creative thinking, collaboration, and networking because we can’t stop asking good questions. We see our work as worship, but we never worship work. We honor God and our families first, taking the Sabbath seriously. We gratefully operate in the gifts of the Spirit and believe that if we persistently pursue Jesus, all the most important pieces will fall into place. - [home](/ "home") - [about us](/mission "about us") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [events](/events "events") - [contact](/contact "contact") - [donate](/donate "donate") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [home](/ "home") - [about us](/mission "about us") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") - [events](/events "events") - [contact](/contact "contact") - [donate](/donate "donate") - [mission](/mission "mission") - [staff](/staff "staff") - [faqs](/faqs "faqs") --- ## URL: https://www.allianceofrenewalchurches.org/life-together-groups ### Title: LIFE TOGETHER GROUPS ### Page ID: 6970268 ### Content: In a Life Together Group you will experience having friends who are *for* you, and against anything that will harm you; friends who will not let you settle for anything less than all God has in store for you; friends who will contend for you in prayer so that God’s purposes will be realized in your life. You will develop relationships with one another that can help you navigate life and ministry in emotional, relational, and spiritually healthy ways. Here's the age old truth: we're much stronger together. Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Create lasting community through more frequent and intimate gatherings. In a Life Together Group you'll form accountabilities, tighter bonds, and learn to discern with trusted friends. If you are interested in a Life Together Group you can carefully consider building one on your own or simply join an existing group. We'd love to help you think through that process and make suggestions.

Your leader care retreat provides a safe place where pastors, leaders, and friends of the Alliance of Renewal Churches can gather with intention to share life, grow in authentic relationship with one another, worship in a relaxed and unhurried setting, as well as receive teaching, personal prayer, and encouraging prophetic ministry. All of that, and still plenty of time for rest and fun! This year’s retreat features Tara Beth Leach—pastor, preacher, and author of *Emboldened* and *Radiant Church*. With deep wisdom and pastoral insight, Tara Beth will lead us through five transformative sessions on the Beatitudes, inviting us to trade self-reliance for sacred dependence and cultural success for Kingdom blessing. Whether you feel spiritually weary or full of momentum, this retreat will reorient your heart around Jesus’s upside-down vision of life, community, and calling. Don’t miss this opportunity to be refreshed, challenged, and renewed alongside fellow pastors. Retreats happen annually, offered in Minnesota and California -- same experience, different venues.
