Ways we gather

Around a table, and away from it all.

Tea Parties

Some of the most powerful ministry moments happen around a table.

DPW Tea Parties bring pastors' wives, ministers' wives, and women in Christian leadership together for an intimate two-hour gathering. Icebreakers open hearts, table topics spark conversations too good to cut short, and the room quickly feels like a reunion, even among women meeting for the first time.

Guards come down. Stories are shared. Burdens feel lighter. We close every gathering praying for one another. Tea Parties are completely free, and they come to cities as the opportunity arises.

Retreats

Transformation cannot be rushed.

DPW Retreats are multi-day, immersive experiences that give women something they rarely give themselves: time, space, and room to breathe. From Friday afternoon through Sunday morning, we gather at a beautiful location away from the noise, moving from teaching to testimony, worship to prayer, honest table conversations to hands-on workbook sessions.

Women arrive carrying the weight of their call. They leave lighter, clearer, and more equipped to walk it out. If your soul has been quietly whispering that it needs more than just another meeting, this is your invitation.

Business, Finance & Leadership Summit

Real skills for real challenges. Free, virtual, held every year.

Encouragement is not enough. Pity is not enough. The women who hold ministry together deserve something more concrete, and that's what the Summit was built to deliver. It meets ministry women where faith, leadership, business, and financial empowerment intersect, hosted virtually so women anywhere can be part of it.

Leadership

Women lead differently, and female leadership is a layered experience rarely addressed with the depth it deserves. The Summit hands women concrete tools to lead with confidence, clarity, and effectiveness.

Business

The pastor's wife is a woman with potential. These sessions help her explore entrepreneurial and income-generating opportunities, not piling more onto a full plate, but widening the vision of what's possible, without burning out.

Finance

Too many pastors' wives have never had access to financial education, not for lack of need, but because ministry can be its own bubble. DPW brings it to them directly, in a way that's accessible and relevant.

The Summit is more than an event. It's a statement: the pastor's wife and the woman in ministry are capable, and deserve every tool, skill, and opportunity to walk in the fullness of that.
