Sisterhood Ministry Leader

Athena Ramsey

I am a wife to my loving husband, Steve, and a mother to 4 lively boys who range from college-age to preschool. Originally from Queens, New York, I attended James Madison University where Steve and I met and started our lifelong friendship. I wasn’t a believer when I started college, but God, who is rich in mercy, brought me to the right place at the right time. My parents’ 25-year marriage was ending and I felt like I didn’t know who I was anymore. God called me to be His and assured me of my identity as His daughter.

In 2009 we relocated from McLean, Virginia to Charlotte as the Lord was preparing us to become parents through adoption. Our family has grown over the years, and God has been faithful to grow me personally as I’ve met the joys and challenges of motherhood, a career, and a calling to ministry.

From the time I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, He gave me a passion for His word. As I grew in my studies of His word, the Lord began to lay on my heart the need for women to be equipped with knowledge of the word of God, encouraged in their daily lives, and extended a hand to walk in unity and love with other women in Christ. This calling led me to our Sisterhood Ministry at Calvary Chapel Fort Mill, as well as starting my own blog and podcast.

While life is indeed full, I still love to find time for basketball, scrapbooking, and reading.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.” Proverbs 3:5-8
