HELPING PASTORS BECOME THE BEST PASTORS THEY CAN BE
Doxology provides a safe environment for clergy and their wives to reflect on their own spiritual and emotional health and assists them to review and enhance their professional competencies and skills as servants of Christ and stewards of God’s sacred mysteries.
Take Heart: Renewed to be a Blessing
The Take Heart weekend is a special opportunity for pastors and their wives. Wives in attendance network with other women who share the unique blessings and challenges of living out their marriages in the context of parsonage life.
Like each of DOXOLOGY’s events, Take Heart is an occasion filled with worship, conversation, and ongoing opportunities for personal reflection and mutual encouragement in a variety of formal and informal settings.
