Strengthening the Spiritual Vitality of Christian Ministry Leaders

A place for pastors, ministry leaders, and their families to thrive.

Our Mission

Thrive Ministries provides safe spaces for Christian ministry leaders and their families to become more firmly rooted in their relationship with the Lord as they navigate the realities of life and ministry.

A safe small group such as this for people in ministry is rare and precious. It was deeply encouraging to know I was not alone in many of the things I had experienced.

Thrive was born out of a simple observation: the people pouring into others were running on empty themselves.

Founded by Cathy Gates, a former public health nurse turned ministry leader, Thrive creates safe, Spirit-led spaces where ministry leaders and their families can be honest, heal, and grow.
