October is Pastor Appreciation Month and We Are Thankful for You!

As we celebrate our pastors, we are reminded of Paul’s words in 1 Thessalonians 5:12–13:

“Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.” (NIV)

What a beautiful reminder of how we are called to love and honor those who faithfully lead and care for the body of Christ.

Pastoral leadership is a calling that requires surrender, faithfulness, sacrifice, and a heart devoted to serving Christ and shepherding His people. We are grateful for the ways our pastors love GracePoint, faithfully teach God’s Word, and lead with a desire to see Christ glorified.

One of the greatest gifts we can give our pastors is our prayers.

Pray that the Lord renews their strength when they grow weary (Isaiah 40:31). Pray that they continue to grow in the knowledge of Christ and that the eyes of their hearts would be enlightened to the hope of His calling (Ephesians 1:16–18). Pray for wisdom, discernment, protection, and a continued dependence on the Lord as they lead His church.

To our pastors, thank you for your love, faithfulness, and willingness to serve. We love you and are grateful the Lord has placed you in our church family! ❤️
