The church needs you well.

Not just functional. Not just surviving another Sunday. Actually well.

Restore Clergy is here to help you thrive in ministry.

Our programs provide rest, resilience, and real ministry support.

Ministry shouldn’t cost you yourself.

Ministry can leave you exhausted, isolated, and questioning your calling. You don't have to carry it alone.

Do you recognize yourself here:

  • Running on empty, but the demands of ministry keep coming

  • Feeling alone in a role few people truly understand

  • Tying your worth to how ministry is going

  • Feeling guilty for needing help, or not knowing where to ask

  • Carrying the weight of leadership with few resources for your own care

  • Wondering where the joy and sense of calling went

Ministry can be life-giving again.

  • Lead with confidence and make time for yourself without guilt

  • Enjoy ministry again by navigating conflict with skill

  • Release shame, resentment, and the pressure to meet everyone’s expectations

  • Reclaim time for rest, relationships, and spiritual practice

  • Break free from self-criticism and numbing habits, and lead with less stress and more joy

Meet your Facilitator:

As ordained clergy, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and Coach, Rev. Kinsie M. Tate, LPCC, founded Restore Clergy to provide wellness options for clergy struggling with burnout.

Kinsie has over 15 years of experience as a licensed counselor and served as clergy in a local church prior to becoming a therapist. She is the spouse of United Methodist Clergy and understands the unique challenges pastors and their families face.

Restore Clergy grew out of the struggle she witnessed pastors experiencing prior to and during the pandemic and her own experience of burnout. She understands ministry from the inside out and provides an authentic space for clergy to take off the pastor hat and be who God created them to be.

  • “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
