Friendly ladies

Let us introduce you to our staff members working here at Alpha Women’s Center. These ladies are a very friendly bunch, they have lots of experience, and they are all passionate about helping you.

-Shelene Billups-

Hello! I’m Shelene, the Executive Director at Alpha. I’m passionate about what we do in coming alongside vulnerable women, especially because of my own experience. I want you to know there is hope!

I became a Christian at the age of 14, and I loved the Lord! But my plans and dreams turned into shame and guilt when I got pregnant as a 21 year old college student in a mental health crisis. Though I had struggled and stumbled, God stayed with me, and His mercy became more real than ever before. I was afraid. I didn’t know how to be a mom. God taught me that my baby was a precious gift, and not a mistake, regardless of how he got there. Because of the loving support and encouragement we received from others, I never regretted choosing life for our son. In fact, I thank God for him!

These days, I’m so blessed to be called wife to my amazing husband and mom to our incredible son. I’m glad to tell our story because it testifies to God’s goodness and grace, though it wasn’t an easy road!

Are you walking the hard road of unplanned pregnancy? You do not have to walk it alone! It’s our mission to help each woman know that regardless of how she got here, her life has value. Her baby’s life is a precious gift. It would be a joy to walk beside you in your journey. I’d love to hear your story! You can email me at awc1dsm@gmail.com.

-Alne-

Hello! I'm Alne Hartog, the Assistant Director of Alpha Women's center. God's given me a passion for being a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves, and for reaching women in need.

I am a wife to my sweetheart of 327 months, and a mom to our 3 blessings. The greatest joy, and foundation of my life is my relationship with Jesus Christ, whom I came to know as my personal Lord and Savior when I was a young teen. I'm continually amazed at God's goodness and faithfulness to me, though I fail Him often! My desire is to be used by God in whatever capacity that may be!

We'd love to meet you and find out how we can be an encouragement to you! You can send me an email at awc2@gmail.com.

-Erica Scherer-

Hello! My name is Erica and I’m a staff member at Alpha Women’s Center. I’m so grateful to be a part of a team who serves the women in our community with their physical and spiritual needs.

I became a Christian when I was young, but didn’t truly understand how God has loved and provided for me until college. Since then, He’s given me a desire to serve Him by reaching women and walking alongside them wherever He has me.

I would love to have you come and visit us at Alpha! You can reach me at awc11dsm@gmail.com. Hope to see you soon!

-Brooke Shrum-

Hello! I’m Brooke and I am a staff member here at Alpha. God has given me a heart for women and I am thankful to be a part of a team that provides love, care, and assistance to women who come into our center.

I have a lively household with a husband, 4 children, and a crazy dog! Our house is full of music, laughs, laundry, and dishes! In the middle of my crazy life God saved me! At the age of 29, a dear friend invested time and care into me. She answered my questions and guided me with Biblical answers.

In my darkest hours, she told me that God loves me and has a plan for my life. Knowing that God could love me when I felt unlovable and hopeless has given me peace in the middle of life’s trials!

I would love to meet you and find out how I can be an encouragement to you. If you want to reach out to me personally, you can email me at awc12dsm@gmail.com. See you soon!

-Chloe Seymour-

Hi! My name is Chloe and I’m one of the staff here at Alpha. I am beyond thankful to be a part of this team where we get the opportunity to help women in need and to share the hope of Jesus Christ.

I grew up in a loving, Christ-centered home where the truth of the Gospel was clearly taught. At the age of seven, I took that truth to heart and accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. Since then, the Lord has been changing every aspect of my life.

The Lord has given me the desire to serve Him in helping women in need of encouragement and support. I want to serve the Lord in whatever I do and being here at Alpha has given me the opportunity to see God work in my life and the lives of the women who reach out to us.

I'd love to have the chance to meet you and chat! If you want to get in touch with me, you can send me an email at awc13dsm@gmail.com.

-Mackenzie-

Hi! My name is Mackenzie and I’m a staff member here at Alpha Women’s Center. I am so excited to be able to share the Gospel and help people throughout their darkest times as others have done for me throughout the trials of life. I am also grateful for opportunities to be able to use Spanish as the Lord has given me a passion for languages.

I became a Christian at a young age when I accepted Jesus into my heart as my personal Savior, but God has continued to grow and shape me more than I could ever imagine. It’s often painful, but I’m so grateful for His grace and that He never gives up on me.
