F.A.Q
Where is this group located?
Our charter group was founded and is located in Nashville, but we continually get requests to start chapters in other parts of the country. Check our Leaders section for new resources and information coming soon!
Can men join this group? What about the husbands who aren’t in the military, but their wives are? What about mothers of service members?
Wives of Faith is for women only. We would welcome and encourage men who are looking for support to start a group geared toward the needs of husbands of service members. While we would love to meet the needs and concerns of everyone connected to a service member, unfortunately, we can’t and still be true to the vision of what we’re trying to do to encourage military wives. Wives of Faith must limit membership to women married to someone in the military.
I’m the fiance/girlfriend of a deployed soldier. Can I come to a Wives of Faith meeting?
Yes. We know how little support girlfriends and fiances can sometimes receive from the military side when they’re not “official.” As long as you understand that the majority of what we talk about comes from the point of view of a wife, you are more than welcome to come be a part.
I was a military wife but we’re now retired. I still miss the military community though. Can I be part of Wives of Faith?
Absolutely! We welcome retired military wives to our group. You will offer a special perspective for younger military wives to learn from.
Is Wives of Faith only for women whose husbands are currently deployed?
No. We want to offer as much support as possible to those who are dealing with a current deployment, but we also welcome any military wife, active, Reserve or Guard, to our group, whether they’ve gone through deployment yet or not. We can all offer something to each other.
How often do Wives of Faith meet?
It depends on the local chapter but typically, a group will meet once a month for official meetings. We encourage members to find time to visit and meet with other wives outside of get-togethers. For example, one local chapter frequently has met on Friday mornings at a local McDonald’s. While the kids play, the moms share the best and worst parts of their weeks.
Is childcare provided?
Each chapter is different but all try to have some type of childcare arrangement. Contact the local chapter for more information.
What can I expect at a monthly get-together of Wives of Faith?
A lot of variety! From month to month we offer a chance to visit with other wives, hear short devotionals for encouragement and spiritual growth, and the chance to participate in other activities like care package parties to let our husbands and other service members know we’re thinking of them. From time to time, we will also have a speaker in to encourage and inspire us! If there is a need, we will try to help find a solution!
