Shepherds' Table helps pastors move beyond surface-level encouragement into meaningful community, prayer, honesty, and action. Whether you need support, personal growth, or help leading real change in your church, there is a pathway designed for you.
Consistent support, prayer, and brotherhood
For pastors who need steady encouragement, honest conversation, and a place to be known.
What to expect:
• consistent attendance
• real sharing
• prayer and encouragement
• brotherhood in ministry
Not for you if:
• you mainly want implementation coaching
• you are looking for a high-accountability growth environment focused on confession and change
Personal obedience, honesty, and change
For pastors who want more than encouragement and are ready for real spiritual honesty, confession, and next-step obedience.
What to expect:
• personal honesty
• confession and accountability
• Scripture and prayer
• clear steps of obedience
Not for you if:
• you want a casual check-in group
• you are not ready for real personal openness and change
Implementation, accountability, and results
For pastors who want to lead actual change in their church and need support implementing participatory, one another-centered ministry.
What to expect:
• implementation focus
• honest reporting
• practical accountability
• leadership follow-through
Not for you if:
• you mainly need pastoral care
• you want personal confession as the main focus rather than implementation
Choose Grow if you are ready for personal honesty, accountability, and spiritual change.
Choose Lead if you want help implementing change in your church.
Each pathway has its own expectations, rhythm, and discussion structure so pastors can join the environment that best fits what they actually need.
Pastors need more than tips, content, and surface-level encouragement. They need spaces for prayer, honesty, support, obedience, and real progress. Shepherd’s Table begins with pastors, but the goal is larger: healthier shepherds, stronger churches, and congregations that actually practice "the one another" commands of Scripture.
Jeremy Plymale has served as a pastor for over 20 years and currently leads CrossHaven Church in O'Fallon, MO.
He knows firsthand how easy it is to carry ministry burdens alone—and how much pastors need consistent spaces for encouragement, prayer, and honest conversation.
Shepherds' Table was created to provide that kind of space: simple, structured, and focused on what actually helps pastors stay healthy and finish well.
He has written about repentance and Shepherds' Table, among other books available on Amazon.
