We create safe spaces where faith, advocacy and healing intersects.

Founded in 2005, PAYNE & Glory, Inc. was born from the desire to help others find restoration after trauma.
What began as a platform for domestic violence awareness has since evolved into a dynamic organization offering faith-based mental health initiatives, purpose coaching, and healing experiences that ignite transformation from the inside out.
We are a faith-rooted, purpose-driven nonprofit dedicated to building stronger people and communities through education, advocacy, and empowerment.
We serve women, families, churches, and leaders with heart-centered programs that create lasting impact.
Whether you're here to connect, learn, heal, grow or give, you're in the right place.
PAYNE & Glory, Inc. creates safe, faith-centered spaces where healing, hope, and transformation can take root.

We serve with heart, we lead with integrity, and we show up for those who need it most.

“PAYNE & Glory, Inc. was the first place where I felt truly seen and safe. After years of hiding my pain and pretending everything was fine, their support helped me find my voice again. The workshops, the compassion, and the understanding changed my life. I’m no longer living in silence—I’m living in purpose and peace.”


“I grew up believing that you don’t ‘talk about’ mental health in the church. But Pain in the Pews opened my eyes and my heart. I learned that my struggles didn’t make me weak—they made me human. Because of PAYNE & Glory, I finally began the healing journey I had been too afraid to start.”
Chelsealya “Cookie” Payne is a visionary leader, coach, author, and survivor who turned her personal pain into a global platform.
Her passion is fueled by lived experience, her faith, and a bold belief that everyone can rise beyond trauma and walk in their God-given purpose.


From survivor to advocate, this is where healing begins.
