Pastors are such a blessing in your life. Your pastor leads your congregation with moving sermons each week, caters to those in your church who need extra help, and leads bible study to lead others closer to God. If your pastor has gone above and beyond to help you or others in his congregation, you might want to surprise him with something special. While gifts are certainly welcome, they are never necessary to say thanks to your pastor. A simple “Thank you” is all that’s necessary to show your gratitude. On the other hand, a physical gift to show your appreciation can go a long way.

How to Choose a Gift Idea for a Pastor

If you’re unsure what to get your pastor, we’ve got you covered. Consider a pastor-themed gift, such as a sweatshirt or a coffee mug, that lets everyone know about his greatest calling in life. Or, think about a gift featuring a piece of meaningful scripture, such as a throw pillow or wall art. Choose a piece of scripture that’s specifically meaningful to you or your congregation. Alternatively, you could consider a gift that goes along with his likes or interests. After all, he’s more than a pastor and has hobbies outside the church.

You can also choose to get your pastor a food gift. If you aren’t quite sure about your pastor’s interest, you can be sure he’ll enjoy something tasty to enjoy. He can also share the gift with the other church staff. Consider one of our Edible Arrangements® or a gift basket with a variety of tasty treats he can indulge in.
