Happy birthday, Pastor!
It’s hard to believe that it’s been a year since we first met.
I remember when you came to our church, and I was so nervous. I didn’t know what to expect from our first meeting, but I knew that you were going to be special.
That day, you told us about how much you loved Jesus and how much He loved us. You also told us about your favorite things—like how much you love watching movies and playing basketball. You even showed us your favorite movie on YouTube! I don’t know why, but that was so cool to me—you were just so down-to-earth, and it made me feel like you were my friend already.
HeartFelt Birthday Wishes For Pastor
- “On your special day, I would like to pray the Lord gives you the power never to give up. …
- “Sir, thank you for having been our rock in church and in life. …
- “You have impacted so many lives positively through your words of wisdom. …
- “Thank you for your concern over our spiritual life.
And now here we are—it’s been a year since we first met, and we’ve all gotten to know each other so well. We have faith in each other, because we know that each of us is doing everything we can to build up this church as best as possible. We’re not perfect by any means; there are times when we all make mistakes or forget things or just need someone else’s help with something they’re better at than we are.
When I think of you, Pastor,
I think of a man who is the very best.
You are kind, strong, and wise;
you have helped me through life’s strife.
Your guidance has been a blessing to me.

That’s how much love it takes for someone like yourself who has been called by our Heavenly Father Himself into this sacred profession of pastoring people through life’s hardest times (like death), but also its happiest times (like marriage).
We feel blessed with your pastoral presence and pray that your ministry will be fruitful.
Pastor, you are a blessing to us. You are a blessing to your family, your community and the world. We feel blessed with your pastoral presence and pray that your ministry will be fruitful.
Pastors are the shepherds of the church. They protect us from enemies outside and within. They teach us about God’s grace and mercy so that our faith becomes stronger every day of our lives.
Heart Touching Birthday Poem For A Pastor
May God bless you abundantly on this special day and always, in Jesus name!
God is the source of all blessings. He blesses you, even as I pray for you on your special day. May God continue to bless you abundantly in Jesus’ name!
God has blessed me immensely, so I am compelled to make sure that I also bless others with my time and talent. To this end, I have decided to educate myself about the Word of God so that I may be able to share it with others who need it most in their lives.
On your birthday, we celebrate the time we’ve spent together, and pray for a great future.
When you look back at the time you’ve spent with your pastor, there will be many memories that stand out. There are likely moments of laughter and joy, but there are also times when the challenges have been difficult to bear.
When you pray for your pastor on his birthday, give thanks for all that God has done through him in your life. Pray that he would continue to build up his church in Christ’s name, and pray for a long and fruitful ministry ahead of him.
Remember also to pray for God’s blessing on his family; he loves them dearly! And don’t forget to ask God to protect him from harm as he works hard to serve others day after day.
Proud To Call You My Pastor Poem
A great way to formulate a poem for your pastor is to start with your favorite scripture verse. Pastor poems can say, “I appreciate you” in a way that a handshake or gift can’t fully capture. Think of these poems as a way to give your pastor a “literary hug.”
Choose from one of our sample pastor appreciation poems or write your own poem for your pastor, priest, preacher, reverend, minister, or clergyman. To write your own poem, begin by choosing a title, and move forward from there. Have the title, poem and sentiments engraved onto a shimmering crystal plaque for a beautifully timeless gift for your pastor to display and keep.
When combining the beauty of a crystal pastor appreciation award/plaque with your special appreciation message, you create a personalized Pastor Appreciation Day gift that will be treasured by the recipient long after a Pastor Appreciation ceremony.
What do you think a pastor is? Have you ever wondered about this? This poem, written in a pastor’s voice, explains what a pastor truly is in the eyes of God.
People ask who I am
They wonder where I’m coming from
My claim is always just the same
A keeper of the flame
People wonder “Who is he?”
Where did he get his degree?
Does he have a P.H.D.?
No, I learned at Calvary
I’m nothing more or nothing less
Made with God’s ingredients
He started out with only dust
But in the end, He gathers much
The world has trust in those renown
In fame and fortune they are proud
Yet God looks past the outer-man
By His grace, I’m what I am
pastor-anniversary-tributeMy friend, pastor Steve showed me a personalized crystal book with this engraved poem – Thanks, Pastor. I think this is the perfect tribute for priests. The plaque has praying hands on the left symbolizing the pastor’s devotion and commitment to the people he shepherds. There is ample space to express your personal appreciation on the right side of the gift plaque, such as engraved this appreciation poem. Thank you pastor poems are a good way to show that you care and to show appreciation for all that they do.
Thanks, Pastor
You study and prepare and daily pray
That your sheep will heed what you say.
You deliver the messages God gives to you.
To listen and obey is your wish for all to do.
From morning until night, day after day
You care for your flock in a most loving way.
You visit those who are shut-in or sad.
You may be the only visitor they have had.
Each ministry within the church you oversee,
Encouraging each to fulfill their ministry.
You guard the flock from wolves that would tear
And divide. You seek relationships to repair
If one of your flock should begin to stray
You challenge him or her without delay.
You encourage them in you to confide
Using the Scriptures to counsel and guide.
Thanks, pastor, for all that you do.
We really do love and appreciate you.

A Pastor’s Heart
This pastor poem is cleverly constructed to describe a pastor, the word “pastor” is used as an acronym to describe his heart.
A pastor’s heart is Protective
and guards his flock from Satan’s snares.
A pastor’s heart is Attentive
and seeks to know his people’s cares.
A pastor’s heart is Sacrificial
and for his sheep will give its all.
A pastor’s heart is Tender
and listens to the Spirit’s call.
A pastor’s heart is Obedient
and heeds the Master’s commands.
A pastor’s heart is Reflective
and considers he is but a man.

Proud to call you my Pastor
Pastors have a very difficult calling in life. Use this little poem told that
A man who teaches the word of God,
the word of truth that gives the people power…
the power of love….the love of God!
A man who not only hugs the sheep, but
touches the heart of his flock.
The sheep know his voice and are blessed by his presence.
A man who teaches the medicinal benefits of laughter, and the financial benefits of giving.
A man whose singing brings light into dark places,
and pierces the heart into conviction.
A man whose smile actually means ” I love you”,
A man whose eyes say ” I’m praying for you”
A man whose lessons from the pulpit make you jump up and say I can take on the world, bring it on!
A man who everyone has heard of, most people know, who many people want, but we have him! because he chose to stay our shepherd…
A man I appreciate and love, and who I am proud to call “My Pastor”!

These two original poems, were written by a pastor for pastors. They are a reminder that we all need help and we’re all human, including the best of pastors.
Pastors pray with us about our needs. Pastors counsel us through our life’s challenges and fears. Pastors consistently deliver sermons to uplift our souls. Pastors visit us when we are in the hospital. Why do they do so? Because they seek to point us towards God, because they walk with God.
Walk with God
Pastor, there’s too much to do.
Don’t try.
Let me tell you a story when you want to
You cry.
Adam took a walk with God,
every afternoon,
Then fell from grace
All too soon.
Later, a little boy took baby steps,
Grew up to walk a lot.
He told stories, brought Good News
That people sought.
His last walk he carried
a heavy cross.
He fell. He continued on
To save the lost.
He died. He rose.
He walked again.
To show the way and
Be a friend.
Pastor walk with Jesus.
And, when you fall,
Let Him lift you, carry your burden,
Carry it all.
Tell us, show us, to walk and die with Him
To rise, to live.
It’s the best thing you could
Possibly give.
Dear Pastor, walk with God!
God walks with you.
Dear God,
For walking with our Pastor,
Thank You.
Amen.

How should we express our appreciation and love to our pastor? What’s the best time to appreciate him? Don’t just wait to celebrate Pastor Appreciation Day, Father’s Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Celebrations should also be held for a pastor’s birthday, anniversaries and retirement. These are all special days for our selfless pastors.
