What Seminary Wives have Said
"It is so evident that the leaders love God and His Word by how they preach and care for the people here. God has used their examples of faithfulness to grow a church filled with people who share that same love for the Lord, His Church, and the lost!"

“In seminary the Lord surrounded me with precious, godly women—some ahead of me in the race and others living my same season of life—who taught me so much. Their example, and the teaching of the Word in Seminary Wives Discipleship, have helped to shape my heart and my desires.”

“Before we knew it, we were facing our final year at TMS. It was a time of bittersweet emotions as we excitedly anticipated going back to our home in South Africa, but sadly thought of saying goodbye to some of the best friendships we have ever had.”

“As we talked about my husband quitting his job, selling our house, and moving to LA, I initially felt a strange excitement that surprised me. We prayed, sought wise counsel, and when we received only confirmations from the Lord and others, we made plans to move the following year. We learned that no matter where we live, if we are in God’s will, it is the perfect place to be.”

Seminary Wives Discipleship
Weekly meetings for Seminary Wives are held on Wednesdays (September – May) through Every Woman’s Grace. This Bible study at Grace Community Church encourages daily personal time with the Lord in His Word while training women to study the Bible in context and make correct applications. It offers fellowship with other sisters-in-Christ, and discipleship relationships with godly older women. Special Seminary Wives training days and times for fun and fellowship are held throughout the year. Training days deal with specific issues regarding the role of a pastor’s wife, her relationships within her home, and her service in the church. If you are the wife of a student or alumnus of The Master’s Seminary, join the Seminary Wives mailing list to receive event updates and more!

Seminary Wives also attend Every Woman’s Grace (EWG) together. Every Woman’s Grace is a weekly Bible study at Grace Community Church designed to fulfill the biblical mandate of Titus 2 through the teaching of God’s Word, daily lessons focused on specific texts in Scripture, and fellowship and accountability with other women. Sem Wives may choose to attend the morning or evening study. Childcare is provided during both sessions.

Joining a fellowship group is one of the best ways to get involved at Grace Community Church. Fellowship groups meet Sunday mornings at Grace Church and break into smaller Bible studies during the week. This is where many seminary families meet their church family and find opportunities to serve and be served on a weekly basis.
