2025 SEMINARS

  • Soul care: taking care of your own spiritual and mental health

    Speakers: Melinda Hendry (Living Leadership) and Elle Cushing

    As ministry wives, we experience unique pressures that can impact the health of our soul. We are also not immune from mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, or burnout. This seminar will explore both mental and soul health and offer some help and guidance. 

  • S.E.N.D support: supporting ministry families with special educational needs

    Speakers: Sophie Killingly, Lena King, Jenny Bray and Hannah Palmer

    A time for those in ministry who have children with additional needs, to educate, give hope, encouragement and connection.

  • Discipling women as part of whole flock care

    Speaker: Linda Allcock

    This seminar will help us better understand discipleship of women as part of the church’s care for the whole flock. Linda will share what we can learn from biblical and historic examples of systems of care to ensure that everyone in the flock is looked after, especially those harder to reach.

  • Speaking from experience: wisdom from older wives

    Speakers: Sandra Prime, Elinor Magowan and Jo Suddell

    Come and hear from a panel of experienced ministry wives on a range of hot topics such as marriage, family life, church ups and downs, and hospitality.

  • A Safe Space

    A place and time for peaceful reflection on what you have heard in the day. Absolute quiet is available, or there will be ladies available to chat and pray.
