It’s not easy to be a pastor. It can be a challenging and exhausting role. However people often don’t recognize that it’s not easy to be a pastor’s wife either! Aside from family responsibilities to your husband and your children, many pastor’s wives also spend time volunteering in the church and/or working outside the home. In addition, the church and community can place unrealistic expectations on you and your family. Sometimes the responsibility of being a pastor’s wife can overshadow the joys of serving alongside your husband. The difficulty is that many pastor’s wives have few close friends that they can confide in or share their struggles with. Due to fears about confidentiality, many wives feel that they cannot voice their everyday concerns or frustrations with others.

This website is intended to be a home and refuge for you…a place for you to get re-inspired, comforted, and strengthened. We want you to know that you are not alone. As our website grows, we intend to regularly add articles written specifically for pastor’s wives*. It is our goal to help you rejuvenate and to give you a renewed passion for being the helpmeet of a husband in full-time ministry.

We offer a toll-free Clergy Care Help Line- 1.888.5.CLERGY- that is available for pastors, their spouses and children. Whether you want a listening ear, someone to pray with, resource suggestions, or confidential counselling, we are here to walk alongside you. We are available Monday to Friday, 8 to 5 pm (PST). It is our desire do all we can to help you not merely survive, but to thrive in your unique calling as a pastor’s wife. If you have questions or suggestions, drop us an email.

*If you, as a pastor’s wife, are interested in submitting an article (maximum 500 words) to be posted on this website, we’d love to hear from you! Articles should be geared towards issues that you have dealt with as a woman, mom and pastor’s wife. You need not be a professional writer- it is your personal story and how God has walked with you, that will encourage other pastor’s wives! Email info@clergycare.ca for more information.

Please note that we are gearing our focus towards wives whose husbands are in ministry. We acknowledge that there are some husbands whose wives serve as pastors. However, because the great majority of pastors are men, this web area will be geared towards women.
