Women of socal

Nicky Stade
Executive Director - Women of SoCal

A large majority of the people sitting in the average Assembly of God church are female. Women in the home and in the marketplace, Pastors' wives, female ministers, and sometimes women who are all of these at the same time—women in the SoCal Network serve and lead in the church and community. One thing we all have in common is that no matter where we serve, we can't do it alone. This is why this team exists.  

Under the banner of “Women of SoCal” are four distinct areas:

• Ministry to Women, representing and serving women in the local church
• Network of Women Ministers, representing and serving female credentialed ministers
• Pastors Wives & Widows, representing and serving women who are married to ministers in past and present
• Mujeres de SoCal, representing and serving Spanish-speaking women in the above areas

As Executive Director, I am honored to lead and serve alongside each of the women who direct these areas, as we prayerfully consider how to best support, equip, and resource all women in English or Spanish—whether a woman in the local church, a minister’s wife, or a credentialed female minister.

She has devoted her life to serve alongside her husband and best friend, Rod, who is the lead pastor at the WCC. This is a miracle church that was once a gambling casino but now has been transformed into a thriving church which is making a life-changing impact in lives and in its community.

Pastor Regina has been married to Pastor Rod for 34 years. Their marriage is known for being a great example of how hard work and a deep commitment can develop into a Christ-centered marriage.
