Our Mission

Church leaders and their families are often overwhelmed by the brutal demands of ministry. G6 Allies exists to be the team in your corner, providing worthwhile tools that help you achieve balanced growth in every area of life so you can be an example to your church of authentically healthy leadership.

Pastors Need Pastors Too!

“Carry one another’s burdens and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

-Galatians 6:2

Born out of years of pastoral ministry and a passion for helping other church leaders, G6 seeks to serve pastors and their families through personal care, team development, and empowered networking.

Our team works with ministry leaders from around the country and from various church backgrounds and denominations.

Whether you need a safe place to vent, a shoulder to cry on, or an outside perspective, we are here to be your ally!

Ways Your Generous Donations Will Be Used:

  • Pastoral Care for Pastors

    Pastors spend themselves caring for their church family, but have you ever wondered who is caring for the pastor? Your donation allows us to subsidize 1:1 coaching and accountability for pastors and their families who can’t afford traditional coaching/biblical counseling.

  • A Safe Place to Rejuvenate

    G6 Allies has a long-term dream to own and operate G6 Ranch - a ministry safe-haven where exhausted ministry families can retreat for a few days of relaxation, spiritual renewal, and family time at no cost to them. Every donation you make helps us move closer to making this dream a reality!

  • Ministry Training

    There are so many challenges in ministry for which seminary has not adequately prepared pastors. That is why lifelong learning and continuing education are so important. Your donation helps fund our global platform to get high-quality training in the hands of under-resourced church leaders around the world.
