Ministry Wives Retreat is FIEC's retreat for wives of men in ministry. It's an opportunity for ministry wives to be refreshed through Bible teaching, training, fellowship, and reflection.
We hope you will return home re-energised and spiritually encouraged in your service for Christ and in your walk with Lord. We believe these three days will be a great blessing to you personally and, as a result, strengthen ministry marriages and enrich local churches.
To get an idea of what the retreat is like, you can read Kathryn Tearle's five reasons why you should go or Rachel Percival's report from the 2025 retreat.
Programme
The programme for 2026 is to be confirmed soon.
Our Directors for Women's Ministry, Rachel Sloan and Elinor Magowan, will host the retreat to enable you to feel relaxed and refreshed, as well as supported and equipped as we learn from each other.
There will be plenty of opportunity to discuss what we hear in small groups and to pray together. We will also be well served by 10ofThose providing a bookstall for us with selected titles to help you and build you up in your ministry.
Times and venue
The Ministry Wives Retreat will start at 4pm on Wednesday 20 May and end after lunch at 2pm on Friday 22 May.
The retreat will be held at The Hayes Conference Centre in Derbyshire. The Hayes offers us single-occupancy rooms with en-suite facilities, good food, and beautiful surroundings. We have a large meeting room and other rooms to meet in, plus it is easy to get to.
