A place of rest for pastors' wives & pastoral leaders

​Come as you are. Rest awhile. Breathe. Be Refreshed.

Welcome

Grace Haven was born from a simple but deeply meaningful realization: those who pour out week after week also need a place to be poured into.

Behind every church service, ministry event, and leadership responsibility are people who are quietly carrying both joy and weight.

 

Grace Haven exists to offer a space where pastors’ wives and ministry leaders can lay down those burdens, be encouraged, encounter the restoring presence of God, and be sent back out with restored joy and renewed hope in the callings God has entrusted them with.

This is not a place to lead.

It is a place to receive.

You spend your life pouring out —  this space and our gatherings exist so you can be poured into.

Who Grace Haven Is For

Grace Haven serves:

• Pastors’ wives
• Women serving in ministry leadership
• Pastor's and their spouses

• Pastoral Staff 

Whether you are thriving or simply weary, our gatherings are designed for you.

Our Heart

A Place of Rest and Renewal

Grace Haven is designed to be a safe haven.

A place of spiritual rest, encouragement, and meaningful connection for pastors' wives and pastoral leaders who are walking the unique path of ministry life.

We understand that ministry can be both deeply meaningful and quietly demanding. Grace Haven provides a setting where you don’t have to explain the complexities of your role. You are met with understanding, care, and shared faith.

Here, you are not defined by your responsibilities, but welcomed as a beloved child of God.

Our Values

Presence Over Performance

Grace Haven gatherings are unhurried, giving you room to rest and encounter God personally rather than simply attend another event.

 

Safe & Honoring Community

We cultivate environments marked by trust, compassion, and respect, where you can share and be encouraged.

 

Scripture-Centered Encouragement

Everything we offer flows from God’s Word and points you back to the sustaining presence of Christ.

 

Rest for the Weary

Grace Haven honors the need for spiritual and emotional rest, reminding you that stepping away is not selfish, it is holy and deeply needed.

What Shapes Grace Haven

Grace Haven takes shape through a variety of gatherings and touch points throughout the year, including:

  • Intimate gatherings for pastors’ wives and pastoral leaders

  • Retreat experiences 

  • Special evenings of encouragement

  • Relational connection points for prayer and support

Each gathering is prayerfully designed to strengthen your heart, renew your spirit, and remind you that you are not walking this road alone.

One Root. Same Heart.

Grace Haven flows from the same spiritual foundation as Alabaster Heart Ministries, while serving a distinct and focused audience.​ While Alabaster Heart gatherings are open to all women,  Grace Haven offers protected, safe places for those serving in ministry leadership roles.​

 

Together, they share one heart,  to see lives gently restored in the presence of God.

A Holy Invitation

If you are a pastor’s wife or a woman serving in ministry leadership and find yourself in need of encouragement, rest, or simply a place to exhale, Grace Haven was created with you in mind.

You are seen. You are valued. And there is a place for you here.

Rooted in Scripture. Guided by the Holy Spirit.
