Who are we?

Side By Side--Rochester is a group of women from all over the country and the world who are here in Rochester, MN, both short and long term, who desire to grow in their walk with Jesus while supporting one another as medical spouses. Being married to a physician brings with it a unique set of circumstances. We are here to pray for, love and encourage one another through whatever those circumstances might be, while spurring one another on in our personal relationships with Jesus Christ.

For the 2007-2008 year we have 162 active women; 60 new ladies this year; 127 Friday morning participants (including 9 in the ESL group); 40 Tuesday evening women; and 5 ladies doing both morning and night studies. We have 39 states represented and 9 different countries including: Singapore, Japan, Canada, South Africa, Korea, France, Germany, England and Finland.

Mark your calendars...
