<p>Pastoral ministry traditionally emphasizes spiritual vitality while often neglecting the psychological well-being (PWB) of clergy, despite its fundamental importance for holistic flourishing and effective pastoral service. This study addresses a research gap by investigating the PWB among pastors in Hong Kong Chinese churches, moving beyond the burnout-focused literature to explore positive dimensions of clergy mental health. Drawing from Ryff’s six-factor model, this study examines key PWB dimensions—personal growth, positive relations with others, environmental mastery, autonomy, self-acceptance, and purpose in life—all critical elements for effective pastoral ministry. A quantitative survey was administered to 230 full-time pastors across Hong Kong Chinese churches. Descriptive results on a 6-point scale revealed overall low-mid PWB levels (<i>M</i> = 4.44, <i>SD</i> = 0.52), with personal growth&#xa0;(<i>M</i> = 4.71), positive relations with others&#xa0;(<i>M</i> = 4.70), and purpose in life&#xa0;(<i>M</i> = 4.58) emerging as the highest-rated dimensions. One-way ANOVA analyses identified significant differences in total PWB by age, education level, current ministry position, ordination status, years ordained, and self-reported health (all <i>p</i> &lt;.05). Pearson correlation analyses confirmed that all six Ryff dimensions were significantly and positively correlated with total PWB (<i>r</i> =.68–.88, <i>p</i> &lt;.001), with self-acceptance (<i>r</i> =.88) and environmental mastery (<i>r</i> =.83) demonstrating the strongest associations. These findings provide crucial baseline data on clergy PWB in Hong Kong, with implications for evidence-based pastoral care, seminary training, and church leadership support to enhance ministerial resilience and effectiveness.</p>
