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!
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),
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.
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.
Greetings in the Name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
Ephesians 1:16 (NIV) 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers.
I wanted to take a few moments to send you this note of appreciation for your investment of time and prayer into my life as I have been on the journey of preparing for ministry.
We are so thrilled to share that (NAME OF NEW PASTOR) will be installed as our new Pastor here at (NAME OF CHURCH)!
One of the reasons I'm not able to share a date yet for this installation service is that we would like to ask you to be our special speaker for this occasion.
