Pastors

PASTOR JAMES C. JONES preached his first sermon the fourth Sunday in August 1998 and was called to pastor Williams Chapel Missionary Baptist Church Sunday, January 1, 2006. He is a VISIONARY with a focus on soul saving, edifying believers and strengthening the body of Christ in this present age.

Through the vision of Pastor Jones several worship and fellowship initiatives have been added at Williams Chapel:

        Annual Month of Fasting and Prayer;
        Annual Church Without Walls Month;
        Family Fun Night fellowships;

and the year 2008 is focused on God's "Men of Fire" stepping up to the challenge of Christianity.

Pastor Jones is a preacher, teacher, musician, song writer and singer. He was honorably selected as the Keynote Speaker at the National NAACP 98th Annual Convention's Youth Advisors Luncheon. Pastor Jones continuously seeks leadership maturity through his grandfather, Senior Pastor Welton Williams, and various Christian organizations such as the National Church Empowerment Conference, the National Church Leaders Conference and the National Baptist Congress and Convention.

Pastor Jones gives ALL HONOR AND GLORY TO GOD THROUGH HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST and bases his loyal servitude to God's ministry on St. Luke 4:18:

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised"

pastored Williams Chapel from it's inception through the completion of the year of our Lord, 2005. The Almighty God graciously granted his prayer to complete 50 years of pastoral service to the Williams Chapel family. After stepping down he continued serving as a great preacher, leader, teacher, counselor, mentor and spiritual advisor to pastors, laymen and any who sought his aid. Founding Pastor Williams held numerous offices during his labor, a few of which include District Moderator, President of the Michigan B.M.&E. State Convention, and Board Member of the National Baptist Convention, U.S.A. Inc. His wife and partner throughout the years is Dr. Nellie Williams. The lives they have touched and the paths they have paved exemplify the rewards of Believers who "Walk By Faith!"
The Almighty and All Wise God called Pastor Williams home October 2010. The members of Williams Chapel gratefully honor the foundation laid through our FOUNDING PASTOR, REVEREND WELTON WILLIAMS , SR.
