Welcome to Sabbatical Support.

Before you get started, here are a few helpful resources. We encourage you to read and listen to these before you begin planning your sabbatical.

  1. Pastoral Sabbaticals (Podcast, Ep. 154) — Practical Shepherding

  2. What I Learned About Sabbaticals by Finally Taking One — The Gospel Coalition

  3. 5 Steps to Your First Sabbatical — Lifeway Research

  4. How to Create a Church Sabbatical Policy — TGC Canada

The next step is to fill out a Pastoral Wellness Self-Assessment. You should plan to print this and bring it with you to your initial meeting with your Support Shepherd.
