PAIN IN THE PEWS: MENTAL HEALTH AND MINISTRY™
In 2014, PAYNE & Glory, Inc. launched a powerful movement called "Pain in the Pews" with a mission to address important topics within the church community.
The initiative began with events on the subjects of domestic abuse and serving with broken pieces. Building upon these foundations, Pain in the Pews: Mental Health and Ministry was created. This initiative aims to connect the faith community with mental health professionals, offering information, resources, and raising awareness. Together, we hope to foster hope, healing, and recovery.
