About Pastor With Purpose 

Pastor with Purpose is a service provided by Upward Sports, designed to honor, equip, and support pastors serving in their local churches. Born out of a deep love for the local church, this program is built for pastors by pastors, recognizing the unique challenges and joys of ministry. Pastor with Purpose offers three tiers of support to meet pastors where they are: Information, providing access to key insights, trends, articles, and blogs to help pastors stay informed and inspired; Transformation, delivered through small, 12-week virtual cohorts led by experienced pastors, offering meaningful conversation, leadership development, and spiritual growth in a collaborative setting; and Restoration, a one-on-one resource for pastors navigating personal or ministry challenges, ensuring they have guidance and care during critical seasons.

​

Through Pastor with Purpose, pastors gain more than knowledge; they gain community, encouragement, and practical tools to thrive in both life and ministry. The Transformation cohorts meet quarterly, with limited spots available, providing an intentional space for pastors to reflect, grow, and strengthen their leadership influence. Whether you are seeking a fresh perspective, personal renewal, or a way to navigate the demands of ministry with clarity, Pastor with Purpose provides a supportive environment that empowers pastors to serve with confidence, resilience, and renewed purpose.
