Behind every faithful pastor is a godly wife who embraces the challenge of having a husband in full-time ministry and delights to come alongside him in his work. Life in ministry is a daunting task for any family to face, and the strain of full-time ministry is the undoing of many godly marriages. In order to help our students have healthy marriages and effective ministries, our students’ wives complete a curriculum that corresponds to the training their husbands receive.

Academically, our students’ wives receive a theological education that mirrors what their husbands are studying. Spiritually, ministry wives receive mentors who support, strengthen, challenge, and encourage them in the work God has given them to do. Practically, the Ministry Wives Program has an emphasis on the special challenges that pastors’ wives face, as well as emphases on biblical counseling and hospitality.
