Held annually in October, Pastor Appreciation Month is a chance for everyone to show their gratitude and express their appreciation for the tireless work and unwavering dedication of these faithful leaders. At The Salvation Army, we recognize Pastor Appreciation Month because our corps officers spread the word of God in worship services, helping people grow in their faith. They provide spiritual guidance, comfort, and support to those in need, and their selfless service to their communities is deserving of recognition and respect.
