Pastor Appreciation Letter Samples

pastor appreciation letter templates

These Pastor Appreciation Letter Samples are a great way for Churches to bless those who are serving the Lord in the calling of Pastor.

The Bible encourages us to “give honor where honor is due”. We believe this is both a wonderful thing to do, but also comes with great blessing for church leadership.

These letters are written by a Pastor with over 35 years of ministry experience. They will be a great addition to ministry efforts!

Whether it’s an invitation to a Pastor Appreciation Service or a letter asking for cards and notes for an appreciation book. Possibly a letter of invitation to a Pastor’s retirement banquet is what you need. You are sure to find letters you can easily modify and use! There are also some great ideas for Pastor Appreciation day too!

Pastor Appreciation Letter Sample

Warm Greetings!

On behalf of the Pastor Appreciation Day Committee here at (NAME OF CHURCH), I wanted to take this opportunity to invite you to this special day.

We invite our entire church family to join us for Pastor Appreciation Day on Sunday, (DATE) at (TIME).

We plan to do our best to be a blessing to a Pastor, who has been a blessing to our congregation in so many ways.

In addition to sharing the Word of God with us, he spends many hours studying and preparing. He also visits us during both crisis moments as well as times of great joy. In addition, he has dedicated babies and grieved with us as we have buried loved ones. He has stood at the altar “tying the knot” for couples who pledge their love, and at that same altar, he has also knelt at the altar as someone gives their life to Christ for the first time.

Pastor Appreciation 2020 During Coronavirus

Dear Church Family,

What a year it's been!

As we continue to navigate these “uncharted waters” of a Global Pandemic, we are doing our best to provide you with information about services and events here at (NAME OF CHURCH).

In past years around this time, we have taken time to honor our Pastor and family for a special day we call “Pastor Appreciation Day.” Many churches also do this at one time or another during the year, but we choose to do so during (MONTH).

We all have had decisions to make during these past months that impact our families, and even at times, employees or people we work with daily. At the beginning of this year, not one of us looked over the horizon of 2020 and predicted such difficult times for our world, nation, churches, or families. Yet, we have taken it “one day at a time,” trusting God will help us to make decisions that will be correct.

Letter Encouraging Christmas Offering for Pastor and Staff

Dear Friends,

Once again, we come to this very special time of the year in which we celebrate and appreciate the birth of Jesus Christ. In this season, we do our best to reach out and be a blessing to our families, as well as others who mean a lot to us.

On behalf of the Church Board/Council, I would like to extend an invitation to the congregation of (NAME OF CHURCH) to show our love and appreciationto the Pastor(s) and Staff who continue to serve us so faithfully, and go “above and beyond” in so many ways to be a blessing to us.

The Bible says; 1 Timothy 5:17 (NKJV) 17 Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.

Love Offering Announcement Letter for Pastor

Greetings in Christ,

I wanted to take a moment to send you this note on behalf of the committee here at First Christian Church as we look forward to celebrating Pastor Appreciation Day during the month of October.

One of the things we would like to do for our Pastoral Staff is to receive a Love Offering as we show our affection and appreciation for our pastors and their families.

We will be receiving this love offering on Sunday morning, October 7 in our morning service. Of course, this is just one of the ways that we as a church body can appreciate those in leadership over us, and we would encourage you as well to bring a card expressing your personal appreciation for their ministry.

Invitation to Speak at Pastor Appreciation Service

Greetings in Christ!

We are looking forward to honoring our Pastor(s) at a Pastor Appreciation Service on (DATE) at (TIME). We are of the firm belief that God will bless a church that honors and blesses their Pastor and that's exactly what we want to do!

With this in mind, we know that you are a friend of Pastor (NAME) and while we are certainly not looking for a “roast”, we know it would be appropriate to share some stories that would have a touch of humor but also show the loving heart of Pastor (NAME).
