Parakaleo is a community of women joined together through one unique calling: church planting.

Whether it's a scratch plant or a church expanding, those first months can hold so many unknowns and hardships.

Here at Parakaleo, you don't have to explain.

Our security isn't in who stays. It's in our Savior who never wavers and is our helper. Always with us, whenever people go or stay. Equipping what's to come and to love even when we don't know what's next.

For 10 years, this in-person Parakaleo group in Chattanooga has been meeting, growing, and walking alongside one another through the ups and downs of church planting.

What a gift to see the friendships God has built and sustained through these years. We're grateful for the faithfulness of God and the community He provides through Parakaleo.

A few moments from Denine's time in Dallas!
There's something special about being with women who understand the joys, challenges, and complexities of ministry life. You can show up, share a meal, have an honest conversation, and feel a little less alone.

We're grateful for the women who make space for one another and for the reminder that we were never meant to do ministry alone.

Church planting can make it easy to lose sight of the bigger picture.

A difficult season, a disappointing Sunday, an unanswered question, or someone else's seemingly flourishing ministry can start to shape how we see our own stories.

Sometimes we need to slow down, ask better questions, and return to what's true about God, ourselves, and the work he's given us.

That's part of what Gaining Perspective is about: making space to connect the hope of the gospel to the realities of life in church planting, alongside women who understand.

Registration closes October 27. If you've been considering joining us, there's still time.

Sometimes, we need to step back and see our circumstances from a different perspective.

That's one of the gifts of a Parakaleo module. Through thoughtful questions, honest conversation, and the hope of the gospel, we can begin to see our stories in a new light.

We're grateful for participants who share how these experiences have impacted them.

Saturday night, and your mind is already on Sunday.
Will anyone come? Will anyone new show up? Will all the preparation be worth it?

Church planting can make it hard to separate what you do from how things seem to be going. When attendance feels uncertain, it can be easy to carry that weight into the night.

But faithfulness isn't measured by a headcount.
You can prepare, pray, welcome people, and trust God with what you cannot control.

And you don't have to carry the weight of ministry alone.
Pastor's wife, what tends to run through your mind on Saturday nights?

Church planting rarely unfolds exactly as we imagined. Unexpected challenges, difficult seasons, and twists and turns often come along the way. But God is at work in our stories, even in the parts we didn't see coming.

The A Journey to Resilience Module gives you the chance to build practices that help you navigate challenges, find meaning in your story, and see how your story fits into God's bigger story.

You don't have to navigate church planting alone.
