Is this you?

Feeling you are not seen as a person in your own right, but as the church leader’s spouse/significant other?

Feeling isolated without like-minded people to talk with

Feeling frustrated that your calling seems to get lost amongst the responsibilities of being a church leader's spouse/significant other 

Feeling unsure how to put in loving boundaries

If so, this course is for you

An opportunity to come together with like-minded people who are in similar situations, knowing you are in a safe and confidential space where you will be heard, held, and guided, without judgement.

At the end of our time together you will:

Feel connected with and supported by those in similar situations

Be more confident in who you are and how to fulfil your purpose and calling
