Head Elder
Gloriadean T. Williams is the oldest of nine children, the mother of three children, and grandmother of five grandchildren.   At the age of 25, she became the matriarch of her family in 1974 after her mother was killed in a car accident.  After retiring in 1999 from Charleston County Government as Recycling Education Specialist, she has continued to be productive as an active servant-leader.  She epitomizes what is meant by "a woman after God's own heart."  Her mission and most important goal in life is "to help others know that they are significant, and that their uniqueness makes a difference." 

Gloriadean has been a faithful member of Restoration Ministries since 1990.  She has served in several areas of ministry and oversees the intercessory prayer ministry, which is now called The Furnace, since 1991. She has served on the Executive Team and as an Elder since 1992.  She also ministers as President through Aglow International, South Carolina Coastal Area Leadership Team (SCCALT), of which she has been a member since 1985.  This organization of renewed women is very special to Gloriadean because of its dedication to serve women from all walks of life.
