About the Guild

A brotherhood, not a mailing list.

The American Pastors Guild hands pastors the history and doctrine to lead their people through what’s actually in front of them: Marxism in the school, Israel in the news, the Founders in the crosshairs. With backbone.

01Why This Exists

They were counting on men like you.

When your people ask about Marxism in the classroom, or what the Bible actually says about Israel, or whether America really is a Christian Nation, too many good pastors fail to answer with clarity and authority, or fail to answer at all. By default, that hands the questions back to the politicians and abdicates the pastor’s role.

The American church today is crying out for bold, clear, unapologetic spiritual leadership, and too often it’s nowhere to be found. That’s why we formed the Guild.

We need pastors who know the stories that matter, who can walk a congregation through the cultural moments sitting in front of them and lead with the kind of clarity the people of God desperately need.

The American Pastors Guild exists to help you carry the weight of responsibility well.

The Mission

Equipping America's pastors to contend with the greatest threats to the church and the nation.

Theology, history, policy: the three threads that run through all five pillars. The pillars are what we teach; these are how.

I

Theology

The creeds and the councils, the doctrinal backbone most of us never had time to read through. We go to school on it together, and we hold what the Church has always held.

II

History

The line you stand in. The founding of the Church and of the republic, and the men who paid for both. We teach a pastor to stand in it on purpose.

III

Policy

The public square is not optional. We name what is in front of your people, and we preach it without fear, hatred, or euphemism.

The Guild was founded by pastors who refused to hand the public square back to the politicians. Founding leadership reviews every application personally, and a man becomes a Guild Fellow only after the Fellowship. The standard is held by men, never by an algorithm.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
