Welcome to our virtual home. We're glad you stopped by.

As a clergy spouse, you most often act as a hostess, responsible for entertaining everyone from the leaders to the least. Here at Shepherdess International, however, we would like to offer you a respite, a place where you can be spiritually fed, emotionally nurtured, and physically relaxed. Within our enclave, we want to provide an ambience of support and understanding. So take off that superwoman cape and make yourself comfortable.

We hope you find your best friend, Jesus, here. We also hope you experience His guidance as you claim the assurance of being His beloved daughter. And, we hope you find here candid snapshots of life in the parsonage—that enchanting temporary home we have hopefully learned to love.

If we don’t meet personally here on earth, let’s plan to meet around Jesus’ supper table, at that magnificent dinner He’s planned for us—the one where the pastors wives won’t have to cook or clean up!
