FAQ's
What does it mean that this conference is for ministry wives?
-The Shepherds' Wives Conference is a conference tailored to women who are in ministry alongside their husbands or for women who are in ministry themselves. The heart behind this conference is to minister to those who minister in the church. The wives of pastors, elders, deacons, ministry leaders, worship leaders, youth leaders, missionaries, etc. all fall under the category of a "ministry wife." The conference is also open to women who serve in leadership roles at their church - women's directors, children's directors, creative directors, media directors, etc.
I'm not a ministry wife, can I please come??
-Yes! We love that so many women are wanting to attend this conference!
Why can't everyone come to the pre-conference lunch?
-The heartbeat behind the Shepherds' Wives Conference is to minister to, encourage, and equip pastors' wives. Still, many women desire to attend SWC. In an effort to keep the conference open to all women and also have some concentrated time with pastors' wives, we established the pre-conference lunch as a unique time of encouragement for the women in that role. If you are hoping for more time with our speakers, don't worry - they are all around and available throughout the entire conference and they love connecting with each of you!
What is the address of the church?
-The conference will take place at Crestwood Baptist Church, 6400 Sweetbay Drive, Crestwood, KY 40014
