Pastor Get Help
Help for pastors overcoming porn addiction. Speak to another pastor who has been where you are.
At AVENUE, we understand the boxed-in isolation pastors experience.
Subject to unrealistic expectations and demands, overworked, underpaid and stressed, the demands of ministry may tempt a pastor to seek other sources of gratification in isolation.
We know how it develops, and why. When personal struggles need attention, a pastor may go deeper into hiding, living in fear and shame, because of the risk of exposure, loss of reputation, career and relationships.
There is another way. Speak confidentially to another pastor who has been where you are.
"Today's Pastor's Only teleconference group was one of those days where I had so many tears of joy. This is the fruit of your ministry Clay! Men who have been 'made alive when we were dead in transgressions' - all by His grace! What if you had not walked the path you walked? I would not be free. Neither would these men."

"...a brother is born to help in time of need." Proverbs 17:17
"I was ready to resign my position as a pastor; I knew I could no longer serve as a pastor and maintain my addiction. I was planning my resignation and was so deceived by the enemy that I didn’t even believe healing was possible. Here I am, five years later, and I’ve been free from acting out for over three years. Five years ago I didn’t think this was even possible. I almost lost my marriage, being present for my two sons as they entered adolescence, and my ministry. I felt like a total failure but I got it all back through you brothers, and Jesus’ healing."
"My wife was ready to leave me; I resigned myself that I was headed for divorce, losing touch with my two daughters, and my district superintendent was ready to fire me; then I called the Avenue Hotline and I talked with you. The next week, after my interview, I asked my wife to give me another chance. I’ve been walking in total accountability now for four years; it’s been a tough road, but my wife and I are closer than we’ve ever been, and my district superintendent says he believes in me. It’s a miracle. I was ready to give up."
"Avenue gave me my life back. I was so filled with shame and anger that I was dysfunctional in my marriage, parenting and ministry; I was dishonest, and hiding all the time, terrified that someone would ask to use my cell phone or computer and find all the pornography on my devices. Back then, I was obsessive about trying to cover my tracks, erase my web surfing history and secret files. I wasted months—no—five years lying, hiding, running, blaming. Now, it’ s like I have a new life. I have time to do my work; I am present with my wife and children; I am effective in ministry. I am a new person."
"The relationships I have formed through Avenue's call in group is my life line. I may have never met any of them face to face but I know them soul to soul. It is my safe harbor and a place where transparency, grace, and forgiveness reigns. Without the line of men I simply would have either treaded water the rest of my life or drowned and lost my ministry opportunities. Thank you Avenue for the gift of life and support."
