Not only is Servant Solutions here to serve those individuals who serve, but also to serve the churches and organizations who employ those who serve. Our hope is to encourage each employer, no matter the size, that it is possible to honor their pastors and leaders, even if the budget is tight. We know too well the challenge of recruiting, retaining and rewarding people who will serve our congregations with excellence. We also want pastors to feel confident that their congregations value and care for them.
