Seminary Wives Cohort
Your husband’s enrollment in seminary signals a call to ministry. As his wife, your role in his ministry journey is significant. The MBTS Seminary Wives Cohort, offered by Midwestern Seminary and Midwestern Women’s Institute, is designed for wives of doctoral, master’s, and accelerate students. This cohort aims to help future ministry wives gain biblical insight into their identity, their husbands’ ministry roles, and their own role in serving alongside him. Limited to 12 participants annually, the cohort provides connection, encouragement, and mentorship from seasoned ministry wives, meeting twice a month from September to May.
