Pastors, please help us spread the word by making sure your wife sees these upcoming Ministry Wives events. We’d love for her to join us!

💕 Ladies!! We’re looking forward to some wonderful gatherings from June through November and hope you’ll plan to join us!

We’re especially looking forward to our Annual Fall Retreat, a sweet time of fellowship, encouragement, and being refreshed in God’s Word, and our Favorite Things Party, a fun tradition that helps us look forward to the holiday season while keeping our families and homes centered on Jesus, even in busy seasons!

We’re so thankful for the chance to do life and ministry together and can’t wait to share these special times with you!

What a blessing to be able to attend the Ministers’ Wives Luncheon at the SBC in Orlando!

This is always such a fun and encouraging event, and we were thankful to enjoy it together with so many First Coast Churches ministry wives. We were especially blessed by the speaker’s warmth, wisdom, and humor as she shared lessons learned from 33 years of being a pastors wife! Reminding us that God is faithful through every season of ministry using fresh perspective of the story of Jesus feeding the 5000.

A special thank you to First Coast Churches for providing our luncheon tickets! Your investment in ministry wives is a huge blessing and encouragement! 💕

"Every pastor is already making a decision about AI.”

In Session 1 of the May 2026 Quarterly Collective, Mark MacDonald challenges pastors and ministry leaders to navigate AI with wisdom, clarity, and intentional leadership, not fear.

As AI continues to shape culture, the Church must be even clearer about who we are, what we stand for, and how we lead people toward Christ.

Watch the session now and hear why Spirit-led pastors — not AI — are the future of the Church.

There’s something about genuine worship. Jesus is our only Hope.

The reason we sing. And worship.

And the only reason I can speak to a room packed with Pastors and Ministry Leaders.

Thank you Bob Bumgarner and First Coast Churches for your leadership and organization to keep Pastors from feeling alone.

Don’t Pastor Alone.
