Create Margin. Reduce Stress. Grow Your Income.
For pastors who are ready to use a biblically-based approach to building wealth, while easing the financial pressure and staying faithful to their calling.
The Truth No One Talks About in Ministry
❌ Your church salary alone just isn't enough in this economic climate.
❌ Your retirement plan is nonexistent.
❌ You’re thinking about a side hustle—but you don’t know who to trust.
Most pastors don’t get formal training in money or investing.
And yet, your financial health has a direct impact on your family, your ministry, and your peace of mind.
That’s why Stocks for Pastors exists. We equip you with biblically sound, time-efficient strategies to build wealth on purpose. Not through hype or hustle, but through clarity, community, and faithful stewardship.
When you begin investing for yourself, you gain:
Clarity about how to invest with confidence, even as a beginner.
Community of pastors who understand your calling and your journey.
Peace of mind that your financial future is being stewarded with wisdom and intentionality.
PATH 1: THE GROWTH PLAN
If you're focused on long-term wealth and want a low-risk, low-time approach, the Growth Plan is your ideal starting point. You’ll learn to trade seasonal stock patterns with a simple system that takes just 15 to 30 minutes a week.
This isn’t just another trading course. It’s designed specifically for pastors and ministry leaders with limited time, limited funds, and no financial background. With a monthly ROI target of 2-3%, the Growth Plan offers a reliable path to growing your retirement savings steadily and confidently.
PATH 2: THE INCOME PLAN
If you’re entrepreneurial and ready to build a second income stream, the Income Plan gives you a clear blueprint. Using structured options strategies, weekly trade alerts, and monthly group coaching, you’ll follow a proven path to running your own part-time trading business in just a few hours per week.
Led by pastor and 16-year trading veteran Michael Shafer, this isn’t just education. It’s a practical system for overworked leaders who need results, not more theory. With a monthly ROI target of 5-10%, the Income Plan can help you create consistent, meaningful income while staying focused on your ministry.
You don’t have to wonder if this works. Our strategy is built on real data, real discipline, and real results from pastors walking the same road as you.

Leaders served across our training programs
We believe in fruit that lasts, not hype. That’s why we’re proud to share stories from church leaders just like you who’ve stepped into this journey with faith and are already seeing the difference in their finances, confidence, and future.
“I have done this program consistently for six months now. For the eight out of the last 10 weeks, I have hit my weekly target in profit that allows me to pay a targeted portion of my bills without using my paycheck. Any Pastor should consider working with Michael because it is clear that he 100% cares about helping you make sure your financial future is more secure. There is no other agenda. And his process works!”
“Using the method of investing I have learned through the program, we have been able to gain traction in our retirement programs and took control of our IRAs. I did not understand how to invest our portfolios and used mangers that cost 6%+ per year. This created a strain on our retirement during long term down periods in the market. We have gained more than the cost of the program in several days.”
Built by a pastor, for pastors. My system makes investing simple, strategic, and aligned with biblical principles.
“Facing the same financial uncertainty common among pastors, I stumbled upon a side hustle 15 years ago that revolutionized not just my finances, but my ability to serve in ministry without the looming stress of financial insecurity. This journey led me to a significant realization: financial freedom and ministry can coexist beautifully.”
