Sandra J. Williamson
Executive Director
Sandra Williamson has a Masters Degree in Human Relations and—along with her husband, James—is the co-founder of Standard Ministries, Inc., and the ministry, God’s E.R. The Williamsons’ goal is to bring Emergency Restoration and spiritual freedom to the lives of participants based upon the foundation of Acts 13:39, which states, “…through Him, everyone who believes is freed from ALL things.” God’s E.R. is a division of Standard Ministries, Inc., which emphasizes the importance of the Word of God as being The Standard.
As a child, Sandra had issues that could be attributed to Autism Spectrum Disorders. Because of these processing disorders, Sandra was not able to accomplish even high school as a teenager. Sandra came to meet the Lord Jesus just before her twenty-first birthday and began searching for answers to her difficulties with auditory processing and other processing issues. In desperation and with continual prayer and rigorous study, Sandra pulled herself out of the grasp of the disorders. She began a pursuit to discover the roots and the reasons for what she had suffered. After finishing high school at age 28, Sandra pursued her education and received her undergraduate degree in Paralegal Studies, a Bachelors Degree in Psychology, followed by a period in the Biological Psychology doctoral program at the Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Sandra then finished her graduate studies with a Masters Degree in Human Relations from the University of Oklahoma.
Sandra’s career has been an ongoing combination of ministry and employment, always with the goal of helping others at the heart of her efforts. While working as a Paralegal in several law firms, Sandra became the Director of two Women’s Crisis Centers in California and Oklahoma, the Founder and Director of a 24 hour emergency hot-line. She also continually worked in her church, in a street ministry in San Francisco, and opened her home as a Foster Family for ex-drug addicts and people coming off the streets and transitioning into relational living. Sandra currently works both with her husband in his law firm and as the Executive Director of Standard Ministries, Inc., and God’s E.R.
Sandra has quite a testimony of deliverance and freedom. Her life is a demonstration of emotional healing, having emerged from layers of emotional wounds. She is a living testimony of Acts 13:39 – everyone who believes is freed from all things.
