Pastor Care
The investment by clergy in Berks County is amazing! Roughly 450 clergy serve this region. We are committed to encourage and support this wonderful group of dedicated people. Right now, that support takes the form of one-on-one meetings, bridging connections, and pastoral retreats.
Meetings with Clergy
We are always delighted to spend time with the clergy that serve in Berks County! Our simple goal in a meeting is to begin building a relationship. We enjoy hearing about your ministry and sharing the connections that we offer.
Bridging Connections
As a pastor, are you struggling with an issue at your church, or simply need a colleague to talk with or be a sounding board? We are constantly bridging connections, and likely know somebody that can lend insight or support. Please contact us!
Pastors’ Retreats
We hold retreats for pastors roughly on a quarterly basis. These are generally 3-4 hours in length. No heavy agendas. We have had wonderful fellowship time, worship & communion, prayer, and meals together.

“This is such a needed ministry. Thank you, again! Healthy clergy make for healthy congregations. It’s not rocket science, but attaining to it can be tough. I’m so thankful RBCC is committed to clergy health and well-being!” All blessings – David Green – Rector of St. Gabriel’s, Douglassville
“I want you to know how much I enjoyed the retreat with the other pastors this past Tuesday morning. Thank you for continuing to coordinate these events. Conversation during the lovely breakfast (And you really did provide a beautiful assortment of breakfast items. Thank you for that, too.) was helpful for getting acquainted.” – Steve Hollinger, Interim Pastor of Host Church, Bernville
