Shepherd Renewal Ministries
About SRM
Shepherd Renewal Ministries (SRM) exists to encourage, equip and educate pastors, leaders and their families through rest, resourcing and renewal in their lives. There is a huge demand for strong leaders who can guide this generation and the next through confusing and difficult times.
Through mentoring, retreats, writing, coaching, providing of resources and offering hope we believe leaders can be raised up to flourish through the help of this ministry of hope. Many of our best and brightest young people are not sure they want to enter the field of ministry and answer the call. We desire to see strong, emerging voices empowered for the ministry.
It is impossible to give from an empty cup or to mentor someone when you do not have the skill set to do so. We at Shepherd Renewal Ministries want to offer our years of our experience and love for ministry while encouraging others to lead well. SRM provides opportunities for growth, rest, resources and renewal opportunities.

Meet the Founders
Tim and Melodee Bunn started in associate ministry in 1987. They lead at Eagle Church of The Nazarene whose mission is to “Love God and Love people”. They have seen that church grow from approximately 100 to 1,000 people through nearly 3 decades of ministry in one place. Their heart is to give back some of the experience that God has given them over the years to help others.
Looking Ahead
SRM desires to create a getaway and gathering place to encourage and coach pastors and leaders. SRM plans to build a retreat center as resources become available. This will include a main cabin with large meeting room attached, with a fire pit and several RV guest hookups or small bungalows near the main lodge. It will be near a pond or river setting to create an atmosphere that is quiet and life giving. SRM will invite those who are weary or open to learning to a place of rest and renewal. If you have such a place to share please let us know.
