Restore Clergy

We believe in making ministry sustainable by providing programs that generate lasting change from the inside out.

The church needs you well.

Not just functional. Not just surviving another Sunday but actually well. Grounded, clear, and leading from a place that has something real to give.

Restore Clergy is here to help you reconnect with yourself so you can thrive in ministry!

You entered ministry because something in you answered a call. You cared about people. You believed your work mattered. You wanted your life to count for something beyond yourself.

But ministry has a way of quietly reshaping pastors and not always for the better. The needs multiply, the expectations of congregations, denominations, family, and friends pile up. Over time, many clergy find they've become so oriented around what others need from them that they've lost touch with who they actually are.

That's not a character flaw; it's what happens when there's no structure in place to help you stay rooted in yourself while giving so much to others.

And it really matters, not just for you, but for every person your ministry touches.

Restore Clergy exists because we believe the world needs pastors who are not just enduring their calling, but flourishing in it. Clergy who know themselves deeply enough to lead with authenticity. Who have the resilience to stay present in difficulty without losing themselves in it. Who can give generously because they have capacity that comes from being cared for.

That kind of ministry is possible and it starts with honest, supported self-reflection. The kind you rarely have time or permission for on your own.

Whether you're just beginning to ask harder questions about your sustainability in ministry, or you're ready for deeper, structured transformation, there's a place for you here.

Jumpstart to Restoration is a free resource with four reflective journal prompts designed specifically for clergy. They won't take long, but if you sit with them honestly, they'll do something important: help you locate yourself again.

You'll reflect on:

  • The values that first called you to ministry — and how they've shifted

  • The moments you've felt most alive in your work

  • The spiritual practices that actually sustain you (not the ones you think you should be doing)

  • What a healthier version of you would look like, and what's standing in the way

Restore Clergy exists to help clergy build the resilience for faithful, sustainable ministry. These prompts are the beginning of that conversation.

  • “Working with Restore Clergy has been such a gift. Kinsie brings a perspective to conversations about clergy wellness and congregational dynamics that I haven't been able to find with other coaches. She carefully balances thoughtful questions that help me with my own discovery with concrete concepts and tools that give me the framework and language to understand the larger dynamics at play. I'm so grateful for her careful, hospitable listening. Clergy have needed someone like her for a long time!”

    -Rev. Sarah E. Seibert

  • “I so appreciated Kinsie's heart, compassion, and skill in helping the group work through the material. Her method during the zoom meetings of walking individuals through the steps of the program material was instructive both to the individual who was sharing their situation and those who were "listening in."

    —Rev. Megan Thomas

  • “When congregants are coming to me with big tasks I am better able to delegate and stay committed to my main ministry priorities rather than feeling I need to take on what they want, to preserve relationships or prove myself.”

    - Rev. Sonja Ingebritsen

  • "I had several “ah-ha” moments during the sessions with Kinsie, where I learned something about myself, why I think the way I do and why I react to people the way I do. It truly helped me realize that I have choices in how I think and/or react instead of my normal way, which was based on my past.”

    - Rev. Robin McGonigal

  • “When I feel like I am an imposter I am now able to identify the underlying causes and attempt to deal with the situation in healthier ways.”

    - Rev. Cassie Sexton-Riggs
