DID YOU KNOW? . . .

  • 38% of U.S. pastors have thought of leaving the ministry in 2021

 

  • Only 1 out of 3 pastors is considered “healthy” in terms of their well-being 

 

  • 1,500 pastors leave ministry every month

 

  • 50% won’t last more than 5 years

 

  • 70% say they don’t have someone they consider a close friend

 

  • 90% of pastors won’t stay long enough to retire

The statistics are staggering. We have seen and experienced first-hand the dire need for pastors, their spouses, and their families to be encouraged, equipped, supported, prayed for, and loved on as they continue to give of themselves for the sake and cause of Christ.

 

Through the power of God and His leading, Harvest Stone Ministries is addressing this need by serving those who serve Christ.

What Others Are Saying ... 

​

"For most of my life in full-time ministry, I felt like I was constantly living in a whirlwind.  Ministry consumed me at the expense of my own relationship with Jesus.  I ended up with a large, impactful ministry, but not much of a personal life.  Many days my life felt like nothing more than rearranging the deck chairs on the sinking Titanic of my life.  Pastors and ministry leaders, I strongly encourage you to take advantage of Harvest Stone Ministries.  The care on opportunities that Pastor Mark offers are key opportunities for you to find rest and refreshment for your soul". - â€‹John A. / Retired Young Life Area Director

​

“Reverend Mark Muckler has been a steady spiritual presence, a pastor, a friend, and a brother in my life for the last almost 20 years. His dedication to the Gospel and the Church has been unwavering. He serves the community with all his gifts and he keeps his eyes on the prize, Christ himself. I’ve never encountered a better disciple, servant, or leader than Mark.” - â€‹James D. / Former Youth Ministry Intern

​

"Mark responds to the needs of pastors and their families out of the deep well of his pastoral experience and spiritual depth.  He cares deeply about clergy and what they and their families often endure while trying to faithfully serve God and their congregations.  He is a trusted confidant, counselor, and fellow clergy who feels called by God to do this important work of being there for them." - Nancy R.​ / Retired Pastor, Leadership Coach, and Former District Superintendent
