The seminary provides monthly opportunities for seminary wives to 
fellowship with faculty wives and other seminary wives. The Women of VBTS exist for the purpose of glorifying God by edifying women through the teaching of the Word, encouraging through fellowship, enhancing through practical knowledge relating to ministry, and embracing the Biblical view and application of womanhood. Meetings are normally held at the homes of VBTS Faculty members. Dress is casual, and childcare is provided. See below for the dates and location of each meeting.
2024–25 Schedule
This year, the Women of VBTS are reading through One with a Shepherd: The Tears and Triumphs of a Ministry Marriage by Mary Somerville. If you are interested in attending or need directions, please email .
