Where would our churches be without our pastor’s wives?

Without their strength and support, many of our pastors would be unable to fulfill their ministry. When the pastor’s family is strong, the church is strong. Conversely, when they struggle, the work of the Kingdom is hindered. Supporting your pastor’s wife isn’t just an act of kindness—it’s an investment in your pastor, your church, and yourself.

How can you show your appreciation?

Listen to this insightful conversation with Debe Taylor on practical ways to appreciate and encourage your pastor’s wife: Appreciating Your Pastor’s Wife.

We also know that the challenges these families face are significant. Psychologist Robyn Ezzell who works with the Refresh Counseling Program discusses the unique struggles pastor’s wives often carry in silence: Understanding the Struggle.

One of the most tangible ways to support pastor’s wives is by giving to the Refresh Counseling Program. This program provides vital mental and emotional health support tailored specifically for these women.

The impact is life-changing. Every single participant has reported that the program was helpful, with one wife sharing:

“If you’re wondering whether it matters—let me tell you it does. It saved pieces of me I thought were already too far gone. I’ll never be the same, and I’m so deeply, eternally grateful.”

By giving today, you are strengthening a marriage, a family, and a church. Together, we can ensure our leaders and their families have the resources they need to reach our community with the gospel. Click here to give.
