How long can a pastor go without a break before breaking?
Pastors carry an extraordinary burden, but the weight of their daily challenges often goes unseen. We're here to make the rest you need accessible when you need it most.
Late-night calls, hospital visits, weddings, funerals—alongside preparing sermons, mediating conflicts, navigating criticism, and offering guidance to all who seek it—create a weight on pastors that few truly see or understand. We recognize the demands of ministry, and we exist to support pastors who carry these burdens. We exist to ensure you don’t have to face them alone and to provide you with the respite you need to recharge."
Doing God’s work can be both exhilarating and draining.
Full-time ministry is one of God’s highest callings, filled with blessings as pastors lead others to profound truths in Scripture. However, the weight of bearing others’ burdens during times of crisis can take a toll, leading to chronic stress, isolation, depression, and burnout for many pastors—especially those who struggle to find time to refresh and recharge.
At Libre Retreats, we aim to change that. We partner with select property owners to provide pastors and their families with free stays throughout the year. While being a pastor is never easy, we are committed to offering opportunities for rest and renewal.
