TENNESSEE CHURCH OF GOD

PASTORS’ WIVES CARE GROUPS

PARTICIPANT OVERVIEW

Connection • Acceptance • Renewal • Encouragement

CARE Groups bring together lead pastors’ wives and retired Church of God pastors’ wives across Tennessee for friendship,

encouragement, prayer, and meaningful relationships. Every pastor’s wife should know she is seen, valued, supported,

and never alone.

Tennessee is organized into nine geographical CARE Group regions, each with a Leader and Assistant Leader. Groups

operate on a two-year term tied to Church of God General Assembly years. Women are asked to stay with their selected

group for the full term so friendships can deepen.

Quarterly connection: At least one gathering per quarter, or four per year.

Women-only fellowship: Most gatherings are adults-only, without children, to allow women to relax, share, and enjoy

genuine connection.

Occasional family opportunities: Some gatherings may include husbands, children, or the whole family.

No pressure: Participation is encouraged, but ministry and family responsibilities are understood. Gatherings can be simple

and informal.

April of each General Assembly year is the registration and reorganization period. Participants may remain with their

current group or select another group based on location, friendships, or opportunities for connection.

Register online through the Tennessee Church of God Women’s Ministries State Office or contact a CARE Group Leader

directly. New participants may join during the two-year term, including those new to Tennessee, pastoral ministry,

retirement, or a new church location.

CONNECT with one another. ACCEPT one another with grace. Seek RENEWAL through prayer and friendship. ENCOURAGE

one another in life, family, and ministry.

Together, we are stronger. No pastor’s wife should walk alone.
