Standing by our husbands. Striving with our sisters. Walking with our Lord.

Side By Side is dedicated to supporting, uplifting, and encouraging medical marriages to glorify Jesus, while enriching daily life and nurturing profound connections with one another, our husbands, and our Lord. We are a CMDA ministry specifically for women married to medical and dental students, residents, fellows, staff physicians, retirees, and dentists.

At Side By Side, you’ll find a nurturing community filled with support, emotional connection, heartfelt prayers, delightful meals, and, of course, plenty of laughter. We also empower women by helping them build networks in their new communities. Most importantly, through the ministry of Side By Side, numerous women, along with their children and husbands, have come to know Christ. It’s an inspiring experience, and we would be thrilled to have you join us!
