Carry One Another's Burdens

Galatians 6 is the heart of our name and the heartbeat of our work.

Ministry is beautiful. It’s also brutal.

Pastors and their families are carrying more than ever, often without anyone walking alongside them.

We’re a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a Gold rating from Candid, and every part of our work centers on one thing: supporting resilient Christian leaders.

Help Us Care for Pastors

Our Mission And Approach

Mission

Church leaders and their families are often overwhelmed by the relentless demands of ministry. G6 Allies exists to be the team in their corner, offering care, coaching, and encouragement that help them grow in every area of life. Our mission is to support the whole leader, not just the public role. We want to see pastors lead with integrity, stay emotionally and spiritually healthy, and set an example of authentic and resilient leadership for their churches.

Approach

Our support is personal, not programmatic. We walk alongside ministry leaders by offering one-on-one coaching, care for pastoral spouses, leadership development tools, and a network of encouragement. Whether someone needs a safe place to process, a strategy to move forward, or simply a voice that understands, we’re here to be their ally in every season of ministry.

Support the Mission

Ministry leaders need care too.

Your generosity helps us create safe and sustainable spaces where they can grow without shame, burnout, or fear.

Here is what your gift makes possible:

Pastoral Care for Pastors

Many leaders give more than they can afford, both financially and emotionally. Your donation helps us provide confidential coaching and support to leaders who would never ask for it but desperately need it.

A Safe Place to Rejuvenate

We are working toward launching G6 Ranch, a ministry retreat space where leaders and their families can rest, recharge, and reconnect at no cost. Your gifts move us closer to making this vision a reality.

Ministry Training

We equip pastors with practical, gospel-centered training that seminary often overlooks. Every gift expands our coaching programs, learning resources, and leadership tools for under-resourced churches.
