Saturday. Summer. Beautiful sunny day, so my friends and I decided to make a picnic and watch the sundown. Pretty fun and relaxed day.

Their Calling is Clear. And so is ours.

When Christian leaders say yes to the call, their families often carry hidden costs; especially when it comes to education, emergencies, and long-term security. Rivergate Foundation exists to meet those needs in timely, practical, and deeply personal ways.

Because the people sent to serve deserve to be supported.

The Gap is Real,
and Growing.

Education Gap

$100K+ – Average cost of in-state public four-year college education. $65K – Average salary for missionaries and church staff members.

Emergency Need Gap

25% of pastors have unpaid medical bills. $7,253 is the average medical debt for those with unpaid bills.

Retirement Gap

37% of ministers under age 45 have no retirement savings. 76% of pastors know other pastors who left ministry due to financial pressures.

Families shouldn’t have to choose between calling and their children’s future. Even routine or moderate medical events can result in long-term debt for these families, who often live without financial margin in already stretched budgets.

Three Challenges. one mission.
