Pain in the Pews: Mental Health and Ministry™

"Real Talk. Safe Space. Whole Healing."

Since 2014, serving as the trusted bridge between faith and mental wellness communities.

Breaking the Stigma in Faith Communities

For too long, individuals dealing with clinical depression, anxiety, trauma, or grief felt forced to hide their pain inside the church. Pain in the Pews™ was birthed out of the realization that faith and mental wellness are not in opposition.

We create structured environments where believers, clergy, and clinicians can gather, talk openly, dismantle shame, and gain practical tools for mental, emotional, and spiritual wholeness.

Chat & Chew Sessions

Intimate community discussions where participants share stories over a meal, ask real questions about mental health, and receive actionable guidance in a relaxed, confidential atmosphere.

Annual Conferences

Our flagship gathering—approaching its 12th annual milestone on December 5, 2026—brings together national keynote speakers, licensed clinicians, and ministry leaders.

Bring Pain in the Pews™ to Your Church

Equip your leadership and congregation with compassionate, faith-sensitive mental health awareness.
