RESOURCES FOR pastors

SHALOM HOUSE: A getaway for pastors and/or their families in New London and Suring, WI... $60/ night plus food... with THREE levels of service:

BASE: Come for a day or a week... and just hang out. With a pool, the place is family friendly... in the country... but only 20 minutes from Appleton.
REFOCUSING: We are able to help a pastor refocus his ministry efforts by some guided coaching... personalized for each pastor... and can run from $250 - $500 beyond room and board.
TRIAGE: When a pastor or couple are in in crisis, we can help them get a game plan in place... and then help them network to the needed resources to accomplish that. This would be a 2-3 day stay. This would require an honorarium, plus professional fees of a therapist, if one is necessary.
