For those who may not know, March is Pastor’s Wife Appreciation Month, a time when we are intentional about expressing gratitude for a very special woman in our church. A woman who serves and sacrifices in countless seen and unseen ways every single day: our First Lady, Amanda Frank.
For many of us, the title “First Lady” is new. We’re used to saying “pastor’s wife,” and she is that. But when we first heard the term “First Lady,” it just felt right, so fitting for the woman we have watched, learned from, and served under these past several years.
Because you see…
A pastor’s wife can be found in the pastor’s kitchen, organizing, delegating, and serving.

A pastor’s wife is the mother of the pastor’s children, teaching them, encouraging them, and covering them in prayerful battles they will never see.

And we are blessed to have a woman of God who walks in both with excellence, our pastor’s wife and our First Lady.
