Our Story

Seen Ministry was founded by our Executive Director, Amanda Kassian. What began in Amanda’s living room—leading women’s Bible studies for years—quickly revealed a deep hunger among women to know God’s Word on a deeper level. Recognizing this need, Amanda gathered a team and launched Seen Ministry to host large gatherings that provide biblical teaching for women in Edmonton and the surrounding area.

The Heart

behind our name

The name is inspired by the story of Hagar in Genesis 16. In the midst of a difficult situation, exiled from her community, Hagar cries out to God.

"So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, 'You are a God of seeing,' for she said, 'Truly here I have seen him who looks after me.'" (Genesis16:13)

Our ministry name serves as a reminder to Christ-followers that we serve a God who sees all things and knows all things—nothing is hidden from His sight. Additionally, we encourage women to see God: to know Him fully, to be transformed by the renewal of our minds, and to continue walking in faithful obedience, confident that they are seen, known, and deeply loved by Him.
