Ministry Couple's Night Out
2026-05-11 18:00 - 20:30 UTC | Belle Aire Baptist Church, 1307 N Rutherford Blvd, Murfreesboro, TN, United States
A significant part of serving well as a minister is enjoying family enrichment. Ministry brings its own unique challenges: the glass house, unreasonable expectations on spouse and children, living on a limited budget, etc. Ministry can be all consuming. You just want a quiet night with your spouse and the phone rings with another urgent request for your presence. How can you cope with it all? Those are the kind of questions we will seek to address in our Ministry Couples Night Out.
Join us at one of the six locations for a free meal and a fun discussion. Find a babysitter, reserve the date on your calendar, and join other ministry couples for a night out.
The meal will begin at 6:00 and the event is scheduled to end by 8:30.

Many hikers take 3-4 days to complete this loop, with optional side trips to Geneva Lake and Willow Pass. You’ll pass through meadows covered in wildflowers, alpine lakes, lush forests, and exposed rocky passes.
