Pillar College hosted its Ninth Annual Pastor Appreciation Breakfast on October 11, 2022 at the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark, NJ. Rev. Dr. Nicole Martin, keynote speaker and a 2021 Global Leadership Summit presenter, remarked on “The Context of the Call.”

“Pillar College hosts the Pastor Appreciation Breakfast each year as a way to honor pastors and pastoral families for the hard work, sacrificial dedication, and multiple blessings provided by these special people,” Dr. Dyer said, before quoting from Hebrews 13:7, “Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.”

Dyer continued,“We want to encourage and bless the pastors to whom God has entrusted a most precious assignment—the spiritual well-being of His flock. Pastors and their families live under incredible pressure, especially in these recent pandemic and postpandemic times.”

As New Jersey’s only fully-accredited Christ-honoring college, Pillar College partners with local churches to fulfill the great commission of encouraging spiritual leaders. — TPC Staff
