About Kingdom Wives
The "Kingdom Wives" title means that regardless of a woman's marital status - single, married, divorced, widowed, or separated - she can have a sincere, dedicated, loving relationship with Jesus Christ and be called a "Real Kingdom Wife." Jesus is looking for a bride - His believers, the ones who love Him. The bride of Christ is speaking of the church (the body of believers in Jesus) and is both male and female. The focus of this fellowship is on women, therefore it's called, "Kingdom Wives." This fellowship is for women who already know Jesus or want to know Jesus more. Real women, real issues, real love - Real Kingdom Wives!
We gather for real fellowship, we read and study for real growth, we network and fellowship for real connection, we share our stories, our struggles, and our victories for real forward movement!

Our Story
"The Real Kingdom Wives Fellowship" began in 2014. We had our first gathering in Baltimore. Since then, our ministry's vision has expanded to include this website, materials for growth in Christ, networking gatherings, and printed and audio materials and uplifting live sessions. Our atmosphere is always stunningly beautiful, our group is caring, our words and teachings are powerful. If applied, they will change your life! Come and be a part, Kingdom Wife!
