How does a chaplain’s wife fit into his ministry?
Obviously, it is important for the wife to fully support the Chaplain ministry of her husband. Separations are difficult on all family members. Many wives are involved in Protestant Women of the Chapel (PWOC). It is a non-denominational fellowship of Christian women under the sponsorship of the military chaplaincy. An important aspect of PWOC, are the weekly Bible studies. Chaplain wives often become officers in the organization. Each chaplain and his wife have to decide the extent of her involvement in the ministry. If the chaplain has the privilege to pastor a military chapel congregation, his family would be a welcome part of the ministry as in a local church.
