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!
Warm Greetings!
On behalf of the Church Board, I am writing to extend an invitation to you to join us for Pastors Appreciation Day on Sunday, _________, 20__ as we extend our thanks and appreciation to Pastor John Doe for his ministry here at First Christian Church.
I just wanted to take a moment to briefly write to let you know how much I appreciate your work as Associate Pastor here at First Christian Church. What a joy it is to labor for the Master right here where God has placed us and our families. There is nothing so pleasing as being in the center of the will of God.

The Dictionary defines the word “appreciate” in this way; “to be grateful or thankful for.”
The Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13, “Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.”
We believe that one of the ways we can truly “live in peace with each other” is to show our “highest regard in love” to our Pastor and his wife (NAME),
Dear Friends,
Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
On behalf of my wife (name), and family, I wanted to take this opportunity to Thank You for your generous expression of love and support for us this past week at the Pastors Appreciation service and fellowship.
Dear Friend,
With all of the blessings that God bestows on us, it is important that we take the time to appreciate those who share his love and his Word with us. The Christian Life family has been very blessed to be the recipients and guests of the efforts of Pastor John Doe and on Wednesday, January 11th, we invite you to attend a service to honor his contributions to the church.
