The church must avoid assigning the pastor’s wife to ministry roles God may not have called her to, gifted her for, or directed her to do. By Nora AllisonMost often when a church hires a pastor, his appointment is the result of a careful process. Pastor search teams conduct interviews, listen to sermons, request recommendations, and seek God’s will. And they do this with the goal of matching the church’s needs with the applicant’s calling, experience, gifting, and personality.

Shortly into my first position as a women’s ministry director, I oversaw our church’s annual women’s retreat. Read: I planned, organized, and promoted the retreat; I handled registration, set up, and emceed; I communicated with the speaker, the worship team, the retreat center, the tech people, and the last-minute photographer (because I forgot about that); I answered a million questions, managed the budget, conducted the feedback survey, and wrote the thank you notes.
