The original private Facebook group for pastors’ wives from all Christian denominations, cultures, and ages.
Private Facebook group for retired pastor’s wives, missionary’s wives, and evangelist’s wives.
Private Facebook group for the widows of pastors, missionaries, and evangelists.
Private Facebook group for ministers’ wives and former ministers’ wives. These women have endured domestic violence and/or infidelity in their own marriage. Some are walking through it with their children.

*Our private Facebook groups can be found by searching the name of the group in groups and requesting membership. This application includes acknowledgment of the community rules and the answering of a few necessary questions.

The Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove offers outstanding retreats for lead pastors and their wives, as well as associate pastors and wives who regularly serve and fill the pulpit from time to time. Throughout the year, they host refreshing ministry retreats designed to encourage and strengthen those serving in ministry leadership.
If you register early, scholarships are often available, making the retreat very affordable. Typically, your only expenses are transportation and the minimal registration fee.
We have personally attended these retreats for the past few years, and each experience has been exceptional. The staff at The Cove are welcoming and caring, the facilities are peaceful and beautiful, and the meals are excellent. The speakers and worship leaders have consistently been encouraging, biblically grounded, and refreshing for those serving in ministry.
If you and your spouse are in ministry and need a time of rest, encouragement, and spiritual renewal, this is a retreat worth considering.
