God designed us to depend on him in everything, including ministry life. In this seminar for pastors’ wives, we will explore how our need is part of God’s plan, consider the sufficiency of Christ, and connect truths about God’s character to our roles and responsibilities as wives, mothers, and church women.

Child Evangelism Fellowship partners with local churches to equip them to reach out, connect with, and minister to children and their families. This seminar will present practical ways your church can connect with your community by focusing on children's ministry, with the ultimate goal of establishing both children and their families in the local church for further spiritual growth and Christian living.

Jesus has come, but until he comes again, we still spend most of our lives dealing with the messy. How do we live in hope when our culture honors cynicism as a way to cope with the messes out there, and self-deprecation as a way to cope with the messes in here? Let’s explore Jesus’ way to live honestly in the messy.

Speaker: Kathy Peterson

While being a pastor's wife is a privilege, it also brings unique challenges, including feeling lost and lonely at times. How do we face these challenges with faith? Through God's Word and the real-life stories of experienced ministry wives, this seminar will remind us who we belong to and why that matters for the long-haul.

Sunday morning is relentless. It doesn’t care how many people we visited in the hospital or how many families were in crisis – it arrives right on schedule. It can be daunting to prepare a single sermon, much less an entire series. This seminar lays out a methodology and practical suggestions to help prepare and preach an expository sermon series.
