Many innocent pastors get a very raw deal, are forced to resign, sacked etc., and often there is no way to express the hurt, or get justice. Please believe me, you are not alone and there is help and hope at hand and resources to assist. You don't have to face it alone.

If there is trouble in your church, no matter where the right or wrong lies, in this denomination you are EXPECTED to resign. Since pastors are told they are not protected by state law in their contract of 'call', there is no safety net!

Since there is no safety net for pastors, they can be and are often treated in the worst possible way. How can this be right? Can this be approved by God? Is it not time to face up to this and change?

It is happening all the time, and often for very similar reasons. Here is some hindsight and learning we have had a crash course in recently!

Sometimes the worst form of Spiritual Abuse is used to break down the 'obstinate' pastor who refuses to resign!

What happened to the Gospel--the real one that is. There are plenty of 'gospels' about these days, and lots of 'blind' people who merrily follow along after their 'blind leaders'. All fall in the hole though, unless they wise up...

Just because our leaders and believers call themselves 'Christian', does not mean they are. The New Testament has so many warnings about false apostles, false brothers, false believers--all who 'think' they are following Christ, but they are following in vain. So, how can we tell the difference?

Pastor !
If you are a pastor or ex pastor and have been / are being pressurised to resign unfairly, or have been sacked unfairly - please read on. I would also like to hear your story and possibly add it to the others. Email address is at the bottom of each page.
Disclaimer. Everything on this web site is alleged to be the truth as in my experience. It is in no way supposed to be slanderous, malicious or in any other way damaging. It is not intended in any way to put down or hurt anyone. My desire in revealing insights and truth is that we seek to be the real thing, seekers of Jesus and His Truth.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
1 Corinthians 13:6
In 2008 I was dismissed (voted out / sacked) from being pastor of the ********** ***** Church. It amounted to unfair dismissal actually, but since pastors do not come under NZ employment law, and have no 'normal' employment rights to fairness as everyone else in NZ does, there are few if any options for redress. This means that a NZ Pastor has no rights to any protection under the normal employment law, there is no safety net.
In this denomination if a pastor and church have an issue, it does not matter at all if the pastor is completely innocent, and if another 'side' are being completely sinful or unfair. The rights or wrongs of the situation do not matter. The pastor is EXPECTED to resign and a lot of pressure will be applied to make them do so. If there is resistance, they will be pressurised even more (in my mind punished).
Since these events of 2008, I have been contacted by and made aware of many other pastors who have faced unfair treatment. This web site is not created out of bitterness or resentment or a desire to retaliate, but to expose what is happening (yes it is happening to others right now) in the hope that there will be repentance and change so that pastors are treated in the same way as any other employer with the protection of a contract under state law.
If you have any experienced of this and would like to share it, please email me. If you would like your experienced added to this web site, please let me know and as long as it is within certain limits, (and only with your consent and approval of the words) I will add it to the site.
Would you like help and support through such a time? Please do contact us, you are not alone.
Do you have any other (helpful) suggestions?
