Calling the Faithful Calling the Faithful

Welcome to Calling the Faithful, a division of The Hope of Survivors ministry.

Calling the faithful is one of our primary objectives. As such, we provide resources and support to pastors and church leadership to help them remain true to their high calling. This web site exists to provide support and encouragement for those in positions of sacred trust who may be tempted to go astray, and to provide hope and healing to the pastor who has had a moral fall, his family, and the church body.

We pray that any church member affected by pastoral sexual misconduct which occurred in his/her church will be able to more fully comprehend the dynamics of what has taken place after reviewing the material on this site.

Both parties (victim and pastor) need encouragement and strength. Not encouragement to continue in sin but, rather, to turn from it, repent and seek forgiveness. It is our hope that the pastor (or whomever) reading these articles will be convicted by the Holy Spirit and forsake his sins and return to Christ—our only Savior.
