Confidential Support

A Safe Place to Vent

Sometimes all you need is someone to talk to. Ministry is exhausting. Many pastors secretly battle addictions, depression, and loneliness. Having a place to go where you can be open and honest, knowing that everything you say is completely confidential, can be a real weight off your shoulders. 

Individual Coaching

Accountability for Personal Growth

Pastors spend so much of their time helping others grow that they often neglect their own growth. We help pastors invest in themselves by providing resources, accountability, and encouragement - All drawn from a wealth of ministry experience.

About Us

Michael Shafer, PhD

Executive Director, G6 Allies

We’ve been in ministry leadership for over 15 years, serving in the local church (both, big and small), academics, and para-church ministries. Our practical experience has been paired with intense academic training. Michael completed a PhD from one of the top-ranked theology programs in the world at Durham University in the United Kingdom. In addition to full-time ministry roles, we are both certified coaches and have been helping other ministry leaders for over 5 years. Our hearts beat for pastoral families. We want to spend ourselves on caring for leaders in the church!

Ian Dunaway

Director of Ministry Development, G6 Allies

We are deeply passionate to see the local church reach the unchurched, de-churched, and those in-between, with the life-giving truth of the Gospel. We desire to see people come to a knowledge of Christ and grow deeper in love with Him daily in a healthy, authentic environment. Over the past 13 years, we have pursued this calling and find no greater joy than seeing God’s calling on our lives come fulfilled. We are thankful that God’s Word is timeless, relevant, beyond limitation, and always working in the hearts of His people.
