Your church has future pastors
sitting in the pews.
Follow The Call partners with pastors to identify, disciple, and release the next wave of ministry leaders — from every generation in your church.
"What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also."
— 2 Timothy 2:2
The next generation of pastors
won't raise themselves.
Every week, 80–100 churches in America close their doors permanently. Many simply run out of pastors. The pipeline is drying up — and most churches have no plan to address it.
You feel the weight of this.
So do we.
You became a pastor because you love your people and believe in the power of the gospel. But between preaching, counseling, administration, and crisis care — who has time to run a leadership residency program? That's the tension Follow The Call was built to address. We don't replace you. We give you a framework, tools, and a partner so the work of raising up the next generation actually gets done.
We’ve walked this road so we can show you the way.
Follow The Call exists to come alongside pastors — not to add to your burden, but to carry part of it with you. Our team brings decades of combined ministry, discipleship, and leadership experience across small, mid-size, and mega-church contexts.
We understand the above-reproach standards required in mentoring men, we understand associations’ mission strategy, and we understand what it feels like to sense a call and have no one to help you discern it.
What Pastors Are Saying
This is a compilation of facts from trusted resources on the state of the church and the need for pastors.
Our resource center has an array of helpful books, guides, and written material to discern a call into ministry.
We provide tools to support local pastors to shepherd and raise up men to consider the call to ministry.
“You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.”
Testimonials
“As I look back and connect dots, I call it God’s providence, basically I hit rock bottom and came to the end of myself and for the first time in my life, I really longed for Christ.”
- Chase Higginbotham
“God stirred my heart using the Word to bring salvation to me, he used the word to bring a calling into my life. And that calling was to say here I am Lord I will do whatever.”
– Bob Burton
