can feel emotionally drained, burned out + overwhelmed
did you know?
1 in 4 ministry leaders is considering quitting. The number one reason: LONELINESS.
Good Co. exists to change that — one COMMUNITY CIRCLE at a time, starting in San Antonio.
When researchers ask pastors why they’ve considered leaving, the answer is consistent.
The top three reasons are:
1. the immense stress of the job (56%),
2. feeling lonely and isolated (43%), and
3. political division (38%).
Loneliness is not a secondary symptom — it is a primary driver of ministry burnout.5
66% of pastors feel they lack sufficient support from their church members. 29% have no one to confide in about their stress — not a colleague, not a peer, not a mentor.1
Research on pastoral resilience consistently points to the same protective factor: connection. Barna Group found that pastors who resist burnout share one thing in common — a strong connection with others around them.

| What Good Co. Is | What Good Co. Is NOT |
| • Monthly in-person gatherings • Cross-denominational • Peer-led, not expert-driven • Honest conversation + practical tools • Rooted in San Antonio where you serve | • A conference or an event • Denominationally specific • Online or subscription-based • Performance based • Another program to manage |
Finally! YOU found your circle- where you can feel seen, equipped + supported.
HONEST CONVERSATION IN COMMUNITY
Good Co. values giving all ministry leaders a space inside the circle… Not outside of it, not looking for it…but right here.
When you are here, you can feel supported, can ask all your questions,and will connect with people who are in the trenches with you. And you can do it with honesty and openness.
You are with good company.
PEER LEARNING + PRACTICAL TOOLS
It’s not always in the budget to fly off to conferences, not to mention, the time away from our families isn’t always practical
Collectively, we have a wealth of knowledge, and an endless well of creativity with fresh ideas right here in our own community. Good Co. is the place to bring new perspectives to Kingdom work.
You are with good company.
CONNECTION + UNITY
Jesus called us to unity in Him, and regardless of where we are Sunday mornings, we are all working toward the same goal–sharing the gospel and love of Jesus.
We go further for the Kingdom when we work together. Good Co. tears down denominational walls so that we can be UNIFIED as sisters and brothers in Christ.
You are with good company.
