Fallenpastors.com is a place where broken, bruised and bleeding Pastors can come and be touched again by the power of God's grace and unconditional love for them. Our purpose is to offer churches, denominations and individual Pastors and Ministers resources to reconnect the fallen Pastor back to the Redeemer of broken live.
Paul said in Galatians 6:1-3
Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.
