Who is Sandra Stevens Smalls?

  Pastor Sandra Stevens Smalls, a native of Midway, Georgia, was raised in the historic Seabrook Community. She is the beloved daughter of the late Deacon Paige Stevens Jr. and Sister Anna Stevens and the youngest of her siblings, the late Bobby L. Stevens and Randolph K. Stevens. Sandra’s first and most cherished ministry is her family. She is the proud mother of two children, Ashley Roberson (Chris) and Nathaniel D. Smalls, and the joyful Meema of Christopher “CJ” Roberson III, Wesley Paige Roberson, and Andrew Lennox Roberson, along with her treasured bonus granddaughter, Chantel Roberson.

An accomplished author, Sandra has penned The Faith Collection, which includes Unstoppable Faith: A Real Testimony of Intentional Faith, Walking In Unstoppable Faith Today, The Unstoppable Faith Movement Workbook, Walking in Unstoppable Faith – A 14-Day Devotional & Journal Experience, and two journals. A two-time cancer survivor, Sandra shares her powerful testimony to inspire others to believe in the healing and transformative power of God.

In September 2016, in response to a divine calling, she launched the S3 Unstoppable Faith Movement® in Savannah, Georgia. What began as a vision has grown into a global movement, reaching across communities and establishing a presence in Kihancha, Kenya. Through conferences, gatherings, outreach, and resources, Sandra has faithfully built an international platform where men and women are encouraged to walk boldly in faith and to experience victory in every area of life.

Sandra also founded the FaithWalk Coaching Institute, where she serves as a Certified Faith Life Coach. Through the Institute, she equips individuals with the tools to grow spiritually, live with purpose, and pursue their God-given destinies. Her coaching work, paired with her ministry, reflects her lifelong commitment to guiding others on their faith journeys. 

Sandra’s theological foundation was birthed at Palmyra Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Emeritus, Reverend Dr. Robert Brown. Though she has served and assisted many ministries throughout her faith journey, Palmyra has always remained her home. Sandra continued her theological training at Calvary Theology School under the leadership of Reverend Sinclair Thorne, graduating in 2016. She was ordained as an Elder on March 13, 2021, under the leadership of Apostle Connie Brown, and later became Pastor of Unstoppable Faith Ministries.

Avery Sr. Most recently, in July 2025, she became a Certified Community Chaplain through Gordon Divinely Directed School of Chaplaincy. On Sunday, October 5, 2025, Sandra was installed as the first woman Pastor of Palmyra Missionary Baptist Church, a historic 150-year-old church, marking a groundbreaking and faith-fulfilled moment in her ministry journey.

With a heart for service, a vision for empowerment, and an unwavering commitment to God’s Word, Pastor Sandra Stevens Smalls continues to lead with courage, faith, and love. Through the S3 Unstoppable Faith Movement® and the FaithWalk Coaching Institute, she is shaping lives, strengthening communities, and leaving a legacy of unstoppable faith for generations to come.
