Ministry Wives Weekend 2026
An annual gathering with Oklahoma Baptist ministry wives for refreshment, connection, and encouragement in Biblical truths and conversations relevant to the ministry wife life.
“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out!”
Romans 11:33
Our guest speakers will be our very own Jennifer Roberson and Angela Sanders.
Jennifer Roberson is a nurse at Duncan Regional Hospital and serves alongside her husband, Matt, at Connection Church in Marlow, Oklahoma. She is passionate about discipling women, connecting them to environments where they feel seen and experience authentic community. Jennifer and Matt have two daughters, Chloe and Claire, who are both at Oklahoma Baptist University. Jennifer is currently pursuing her master’s degree in nursing education and enjoys mentoring others both professionally and personally. In her free time, she loves taking walks, thinking thoughts on her blog WhollyMess, and drinking black coffee.
Angela Sanders is a Christian author, speaker, and ministry wife with a knack for communicating the truth of God’s Word in a way everyone can understand. Author of For Him, Not Them: Change Your Why and Love Your Life, Growing an Effective Girls Ministry from the Ground Up, 100 Days of Choosing God’s Glory: a Devotional Challenge, and other resources, Angela’s ministry goal is to encourage believers and equip the Church. She considers it a special privilege to encourage ministry wives like herself by reminding them that what they do matters to the Kingdom and blesses God’s heart. She and her husband, Todd, have been enthusiastic partners in life and ministry for over 30 years. Their two children, Hope and Hunter, daughter-in-law Mackenzie, and two grandbabies, Harrison and Nora, fill their lives with love, laughter, and lots of cuddles.

Car Chat Podcast
Join Amy & Jamy as they chat in Amy’s car (the glorious and overtly common white Nissan Pathfinder) each month and chat about one woman of the Bible. Women need other women. We just LOVE that God includes the lives of real, broken women in the Bible and reveals how he loves, interacts, and redeems them. We are excited to surround ourselves with this community of women and be encouraged as we lean into Jesus. You don’t have to remain alone in your faith even when no one is around.

Counseling
Christian counseling is a wonderful tool God uses to help untangle some of our internal mess with a trained professional.
Counseling support is provided through the Edna McMillan State Mission Offering to pastors, paid church staff, and their dependents. This includes college students who are still dependent upon their families.
Adult children of pastors and staff members are not eligible. The objective of Oklahoma Baptists ministerial counseling support is to achieve assessment and stabilization. In other words, Oklahoma Baptists desire to assist with short-term, solution-focused therapy.
For information regarding Oklahoma Baptists’ Counseling, please contact our office at 405-942-3000.
