What is expected of elders' wives?  

What can and should elders’ wives be doing in the life of the church? In this session, Mike emphasises that we each have a responsibility to exercise whatever gifts and calling the Lord has for us. We should all live in obedience to Christ, not the expectations of man.  

*Disclaimer: As with any area of our lives, we need to maintain a healthy balance. The purpose of this session is not to see any person doing less than Jesus asks them to do. Our aim is to see all of our elders' wives understand that they play an invaluable part within the team and have a responsibility to exercise whatever gifts and calling the Lord has for them. Life should be lived in obedience to Christ, not the expectations of man nor the imagined obligations of the non-existent office of the 'elder's wife.'
