a ministry-friendship network

God never intended for life—or ministry—to be a solo sport. But the reality is, nearly 70% of pastors say they don’t have a close friend. That kind of isolation takes a toll.

That’s why The BOOM Network exists. It’s a space created for ministry leaders, by ministry leaders—a place where pastors and their spouses can connect, breathe, laugh, and remember: we’re not in this alone.

Whether you’re planting, rebuilding, growing, or just holding on, our heart is to create a community of support and strength for the road ahead. We’ve identified 7 Cs that shape the experience and culture of BOOM:

  • Connection – It’s refreshing to meet new people and reconnect with familiar faces.

  • Community – It’s life-giving to share time, stories, and space together.

  • Collaboration – It’s powerful to learn from one another and lead stronger together.

  • Creativity – It’s fun to exchange Spirit-led ideas that reach people in fresh ways.

  • Coaching – It’s rewarding to share what you’ve learned and grow alongside others.

  • Celebration – It’s good to be noticed—and to notice and celebrate others.

  • Currency – It’s wise to explore marketplace strategies and generosity models that fund the Gospel through the local church.

let’s do life together

We believe that meaningful community happens in shared spaces—around the table, on a walk, over coffee, or sitting by the fire. That’s why The BOOM Network hosts one Pastors Gathering each year, designed to give senior pastors and their spouses space to rest, reset, and reconnect with God and each other.

It’s not a conference—it’s a sacred pause. A chance to let your guard down, be poured into, and leave reminded that you’re seen, you’re called, and you’re not alone.

Whether it's quiet mornings in prayer, unhurried conversations with peers, or just time to laugh and breathe again, this annual gathering is designed to refresh your soul and strengthen your spirit for the season ahead.

Because friends don’t let friends do ministry alone.

how can you get involved?

Our next BOOM Network Refresh event is currently in the works—and trust us, you’re going to want to be there.

While details are still coming together, we can tell you this: it’ll be a few days set apart for senior pastors and their spouses to rest, laugh, and connect with others who are walking the same road. A time to reset your heart, strengthen your friendships, and be reminded that you’re not in this alone.

We’re dreaming up a location that offers sunshine, beauty, and the kind of unhurried space where real conversations happen and God meets us in meaningful ways.

So stay tuned—we’ll be sharing more soon. But go ahead and hold space on your calendar now. Because we’d love for you to be part of it.

You pour out all year long. This is your chance to be poured into.
