<p>Forced termination is a prevalent and disruptive vocational event in ministry, yet its relationship to trauma-related distress and resilience remains underexamined. This study used a quantitative survey design to examine forced termination, trauma symptoms, and resilience among clergy and clergy spouses (<i>N</i> = 179). Participants completed measures of resilience (Hardy Resilience Scale), posttraumatic stress disorder symptom severity (National Stressful Events Survey PTSD Short Scale), event-related distress (Impact of Event Scale–Revised), and, for those with forced termination experience, perceived termination impact (Perceptions of Terminated Ministers–Revised). Approximately 30% of respondents reported a history of forced termination. Within the forced termination subgroup, greater unresolved termination impact was associated with higher trauma-related distress and lower resilience. Regression analyses indicated that forced termination status and symptom severity did not uniquely predict resilience in this sample. Findings suggest that resilience is distinct from symptom burden and that the integration of forced termination experiences may be more consequential than exposure alone. Implications for denominational leaders, pastoral care providers, and mental health clinicians working with clergy populations are discussed.</p>
