Healthy Clergy Make Healthy Congregations is a 9-volume series that recognizes the increasing stress involved in responding to God’s call to ministry.

- Congregations can develop a strategy to nurture the health of their staff.
- Regional bodies can engage congregations and clergy in conversations and actions that promote healthier clergy and congregations.
