The role of a pastor’s spouse can be both rewarding and challenging. Spouses deal with challenges other congregation members don’t have, such as:
PCR hosts a biennial conference specifically for pastors' wives. This is a wonderful opportunity for pastors' wives to be encouraged, supported, renewed, and refreshed. Due to COVID, the next in-person event will be the the 2022 conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

At one point in time, all pastors were men. This is no longer the case as female pastors are filling a variety of ministry roles in the CRC. To assume that pastors’ husbands and pastors’ wives share identical experiences would be unfortunate, and inaccurate.
Over the past several years, Pastor Church Resources has twice surveyed male spouses to determine their interest in PCR opportunities and support. Both surveys indicated that there’s very little desire for such support and virtually no interest in attending conferences. Based on this feedback, PCR continues to focus its programming on female spouses.
We’ll continue to seek the input of pastors’ husbands and design our programming accordingly.
