  I'm not entirely sure on this situation. However, I know if you're addressing it to two doctors, it would be The Doctors Doe.
  
  So maybe The Reverends Doe? or The Pastors Doe? That seems weird though...

  Birdie, I suspect you are correct. Sounds fine to me! Not that I'm an expert... I just agree.

  Pastors Jane & John Doe? Just a guess.

  I would go with either The Reverends or The Revs. as an abbreviation since I would address a pastor and his wife as The Rev. and Mrs. Whoever.

  Just curious, isn't a Reverend and a Pastor different? Depending on the religion is it incorrect to say Reverend?

  It might be. I also wonder if Pastor is an official title in that case. I don't know anyone who has an actual degree which confers the title "Pastor" on them, the way they would Reverend or Reverend Doctor or Father. I'd also look into that.

  I admit, I'm not entirely sure as far as that goes. I know in Catholicism the titles are different (Priest, Bishop, etc) and in other religions. But in all the Protestant churches I've been in, the bulletin always says something like, "Pastor: Rev. Firstname Lastname." So I think pastor is the role, but Reverend is the title.
