Alma recognized the need for the family to be built on a solid Christian structure. Drawing from her faith and personal experiences, she was moved with compassion for hurting women and families, leading her to find  “Perfecting of the Saints in Christ Ministries (PSCM).”  PSCM is a non-profit 501c(3) organization that focuses on ministering to hurting women, couples, marriages, and families.  One of the ministry’s missions is to integrate counseling with Biblical principles to rebuild the foundation God planned for the family and His people.  One of the ministry’s visions is to help women, couples, and families recognize and apply techniques and Biblical principles needed to keep their family strong.

Alma is married to Billy Joe and has seven adult children.  Billy and Alma have sixteen lovely grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
