Kairos Eight25 is a ministry of Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church in Williamsburg, Virginia serving women struggling with the loss and loneliness of infertility, miscarriage, infant loss, and related agonies.
OUR NAME
Kairos is a Greek word found in scripture meaning “the most opportune or seasonable time.” The scripture Romans 8:25 says, “But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.” We desire to support women by emphasizing hope and perseverance as they walk in faith, waiting for Gods purposes to be realized.
VISION
Inspired by God’s love and strength, Kairos Eight25 aims to alleviate the aloneness, burden, and grief of women who walk through the valley of infertility and miscarriage. Support is offered to refresh women spiritually and emotionally, to preserve expectancy, and encourage persistence in the hope of the Gospel.
MISSION
Kairos Eight25 offers a monthly support group to provide Christ-centered hope to women who are experiencing the loss and loneliness of infertility and miscarriage. Women will walk alongside each other on this journey to provide confidential listening, regular prayer, hopeful messages, and a library of resources.
GWEN MARTIN, Co FOUNDER
Gwen is a retired school administrator and math teacher. She now coordinates Women’s Ministries at Grace Covenant Presbyterian in Williamsburg, VA and is a group discussion leader in Bible Study Fellowship.
Her “Kairos Eight25” compassion comes from journeying with her youngest daughter through the suffering of infertility. Her 4-year experience with infertility culminated in a successful IVF pregnancy and birth of her granddaughter Ava.
She understands just how lonely and grief-filled the infertility experience can be and how the gospel-centered church can fill a loneliness gap that exists. She is privileged to work with women in her church to provide prayerful support to women who share this common infertility or miscarriage experience.
ALI WILLIAMSON, Co FOUNDER
Ali is a photographer in Williamsburg, VA and has been married for 11 years to Chad. In May 2021, they welcomed Hana into the world after 5 long years of treatments and effort to get pregnant. Ali knows the road of infertility well and desires to offer sober encouragement to women walking the same road.
