“I have a deep heart for the wives who faithfully walk alongside their husbands in church leadership, often carrying both visible and unseen burdens. Having lived in ministry for many years alongside my husband Don, a Ruling Elder in the PCA, I understand the joys, challenges, and sacrifices that accompany this calling. I count it a privilege to come alongside other elders’ wives to provide resources, connection, and encouragement so that they are equipped to serve faithfully, churches are strengthened, and God is glorified.”

Teaching Elder’s Wife

“I’m excited about this new role serving wives of elders and pastors. I believe we will build on the historic strength of women’s ministry as a connectional, relational network while moving it toward deeper discipleship. Elders' wives often carry unique joys and burdens in relative isolation, yet they long for accessible discipleship, resourcing, and the assurance that they are not alone. I’m excited to help steward seasoned wisdom and shared experience of elders' wives in a way that enhances our service to our churches for the glory of God.”
