Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the group for?
Side By Side is a community of women who share the common bond of being married to doctors, dentists, and those still in medical or dental training.  Side By Side welcomes ALL medical and dental wives, regardless of religious background or denomination, and ministers to women through Bible study, friendship, and prayer.

Where and when do you meet? 
 We meet every Friday from 9:30-11:30am at River City Church. 

Do you meet year-round? 
We meet on a "school schedule" from Labor Day through mid-May, taking breaks over major holidays.

Are there any other events other than your morning Bible Studies? 
There are often play dates at local parks and at other venues throughout the year as well as the occasional "Ladies Night Out" and family get-togethers. These events will be posted on our Facebook page.

Do you have dues? Do you charge for childcare?  
We collect a $30 Dues fee from each member at the beginning of each semester and have each person purchase their own study materials (typically $10-20 per semester).

We ask those who need childcare to contribute as they're able. We have excellent, adult-women childcare workers.  

Scholarships are available. 

We do not want finances to limit your participation!

I have an infant who is too small to go in with the other children.  Can s/he stay with me during the Bible Study?  
Of course...and we will probably offer to hold your little one for you!   
 
I'm not sure I can make it to every meeting.  Is that a problem?
Not at all!  While we love to have regular attendance, we completely understand that balancing schedules can be hectic. 
​Come as often as you can, and we'll be happy to see you!
