EQUIP ministry wives
Being married to someone in ministry brings unique blessings and challenges. EQUIP ministry wives is a non-denominational conference designed to encourage women married to men in any type of paid gospel ministry.
Join us on Saturday 14 March 2026 at EQUIP ministry wives!
Marriage isn't easy! Add to that our husband's ministry and our own ministries. It takes hard work, planning, and forgiveness. If we want our marriages to thrive, we need God in the centre. What steps can we take to build a marriage that endures? At EQUIP ministry wives, you’ll hear Paul and Cathy Grimmond share God's word and wisdom from years of experience.
