Our Story

Ministry asks a great deal of the people who answer the call, and too often the care they need arrives only after they are depleted. Restore Clergy is a 501c3 nonprofit serving clergy of all denominations, creating communities of peers and pathways of restoration so that leaders can stay well, connected, and rooted in their calling.

Our story began in 2020, when our founder, Rev. Kinsie Tate, LPCC, and her husband, also a pastor, uprooted their family for a new call just as the world shut down. They moved Oklahoma to L.A. without goodbyes, knowing no one, and they discovered what was missing: a community of peers who understood ministry and the cost of starting over. Drawing on her clinical training as a licensed counselor, her coaching certification, and ancient Christian practices, she created the Restoration Fellowship, and Restore Clergy grew from there.

Below, you’ll meet Kinsie and the board members who guide this work. Together they bring experience in ministry, counseling, and organizational leadership to one shared commitment: that no clergyperson should have to rebuild alone.
