Our Story
Founder
Meet our
For over 30 years, our founder, Libia Duran, has devoted her life to serving churches and pastors across the United States. Through her time in ministry and leadership, she recognized the vital—yet often unseen—role of pastors’ wives. She witnessed their dedication, their sacrifices, and their deep need for a community that truly understands their unique journey.
With a heart stirred by God, she hosted the first Pastors’ Wives Breakfast—a gathering that quickly became a source of encouragement, connection, and renewal. What began as a single moment of intentional care revealed a greater need.
In 2017, that vision was formally established as Pastors Wives of America, created to provide ongoing support, fellowship, and resources to pastoral women across the nation.
Today, the community spans 21 states and continues to grow—offering a place where pastors’ wives are strengthened in faith, affirmed in their calling, and equipped to walk with purpose. At its heart, Pastors Wives of America exists to ensure that no pastoral woman walks her journey alone.
