Thrive 

While fulfilling God’s purpose in their lives, serving as pastor of a local church can bring unique challenges. Recognizing the burdens placed on pastoral families, and their experience with frustration, anxiety, grief and burnout, the Church of God Tennessee State Office has established the THRIVE program.

‘THRIVE’ is a ministry led by the Church of God Tennessee State Office. 

 ‘THRIVE’ provides credible counselling to pastors and their families who would like to take advantage of both confidential and professional assistance. ‘THRIVE’ is a ministry of the highest integrity and operates with the following core values:  

TRUST

HEALTH

REASSURANCE

INSPIRATION

VALIDATION and

ENCOURAGEMENT

This confidential and professional assistance is being offered to all Tennessee pastors and their families at no charge. Pastoral veterans Dr. Roger and Pam Childers have been retained for this program that is available throughout the state. All in person and social media appointments are made directly through the office of Dr. Childers for the purpose of confidentiality and the Administrative Bishop or State Office staff have no knowledge of the identity of those receiving professional assistance.

Since its beginning, THRIVE has proven to be successful and beneficial to multiple Tennessee pastoral families. If you are a pastor in Tennessee and you feel this ministry would be helpful to you or your family, please contact the Childers at (423)-637-0186 or email them at Thrivetncog@gmail.com.
