Thank You Letters for Churches are a great way for churches to “practice what we preach.”
Written by a Pastor with over 35 years of ministry experience, they will be a great addition to your follow up efforts to reach your community for Christ!
I just wanted to take a moment to reflect on all that you do in your service as a church board member and let you know that I appreciate your dedication to this important role in the body of our church.
You have helped see to it that our church fulfills its mission, vision, and values. You’ve spent time in meetings evaluating our resources and ensuring that we are being responsible stewards of the gifts we’ve been given. You have taken steps to address and resolve issues in a way that keeps Christ at the center of it all.
“Then the people rejoiced because they had offered so willingly, for they made their offering to the Lord with a whole heart, and King David also rejoiced greatly.” — 1 Chronicles 29:9
The Lord loves a cheerful giver, and we recognize that you have gifted CHURCH NAME generously and willingly from your own resources. Without contributions like yours, we wouldn’t be able to carry out the mission of our church and its various ministries. Your gifts go a long way in supporting the ministries of our church—we recognize this, and we are thankful for it.
We just opened the mail and were happily surprised to discover your generous donation to CHURCH NAME.
On behalf of the staff and people of CHURCH NAME, I would like to thank you for your gift of $___ to our ministry. Your financial support helps us carry out our mission of MISSION STATEMENT HERE and in helping those in need here in LOCATION.
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
–Proverbs 22:6
Teachers are like pastors: you assume the responsibility and privilege of sharing God’s Word in a way that makes it easy for others to understand. Explaining scripture to children, especially, is neither a small or easy task. On the contrary, the task of relating the abstract or challenging aspects of our Creator is one that requires a special set of gifts from the Lord, and I, for one, am thankful that you have put your spiritual gifts to use so willingly over the years.
I know there have been many hours of prayer, study, and thoughtful discussion taking place during this search for a new pastor. I know that the committee has been working hard to listen to and follow God’s leading. To serve on the committee requires one to put aside their own interests in order to spiritually discern what is right and best and God’s true calling for the church. After all, you are seeking the Lord’s guidance and direction on who it is, exactly, that He is calling to be the next pastor of CHURCH NAME. We trust that, through Christ’s leading, the committee has found/will find the right person will come to serve CHURCH NAME as our new pastor.
