Melissa joined the SABA Ministry Center in March of 2022 after spending 17 years as a dedicated stay-at-home mom. She and her husband, Paul—who serves as a pastor—have been in ministry together for over 21 years, with 17½ of those years serving the Lord in Dothan.

Melissa is the proud mom of four children: Emily, Silas, Timothy, and Zoe, who is married to Chance and recently made them first-time grandparents to baby Bennett. She homeschools her children and finds joy in serving alongside her husband through various ministry roles, including leading women’s Bible studies, singing on the praise team, and teaching children’s church.

When she’s not planning, cleaning, or organizing, Melissa enjoys spending time with Paul on date nights, sipping coffee in good conversation with family and friends, or relaxing with a good book.

Susan loves to serve those around her. She is currently the Ministry Assistant at Taylor Baptist Church and oversees the Children's Ministry as well. Susan also serves as an officer to the Alabama Association of Baptist Ministry Assistants.

Susan is married to Gary Griffin, Jr. and they have two sons, David and Paul. Susan's favorite things are fall, Christmas, Snoopy and coffee.

Pray4Dothan invites every person in Dothan to unite for a week of prayer. This week will focus on the power of prayer to bring God’s blessings and transformation to Dothan!

We are excited to announce that Alley Singley will be joining our SABA team as our Communications Ministry Assistant beginning Monday, August 11th!  

Alley brings a wealth of marketing and communications experience—from running her own design studio and spearheading digital campaigns to crafting compelling stories as a Mass Communication Specialist with the Alabama Army National Guard.

Alley’s roots run deep in our association: she grew up at Grandview Baptist Church, served as a summer missionary with SABA after high school, and now worships and serves alongside her family at Pilgrim Home Baptist Church. We’re thrilled to have her creative spark and servant’s heart back on the team, and we can’t wait to see how God uses her to serve our SABA churches!

Please join us in welcoming Alley to the SABA team!

Many thanks to the churches who enable the SABA Ministry Center to carry out God's work, through your volunteer hours and your food giving!
