P.A.I.N! is an informal “club” of pastors dedicated to the principle that God works most fruitfully through the united, corporate body of a city or county, rather than through isolated ministries. By God’s grace, we have set aside our inter-church competitiveness, and have realized that whatever contributes to the health of the county-wide church yields dividends in our local church. Therefore, as pastors of different and varied evangelical churches, we welcome opportunities to pray together, minister together, or simply be together as friends. We have decided to work wisely for one another’s success, rather than short-sightedly for only our own.

How can I join?

P.A.I.N! collects no dues and holds no formal meetings. You can join by simply inviting another pastor out to lunch or coffee! If you are committed to working for the unity of the pastors in your city, we consider you a member of our fellowship. We’d love to add your name to our informal membership list. Please e-mail us with your name and church information. We will send you an occasional “Special Message For Pastors” by e-mail, and gladly respond to any queries you may have about how to encourage pastoral unity in your city.
