MEET OUR STAFF
Rev. Connor Williams
Pastor
Connor was born in Irving, Texas, and grew up in Brentwood, TN, about 30 minutes south of Nashville. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies with a concentration in Abrahamic Traditions from the University of Tennessee. After completing his undergraduate work, he wanted to explore a different part of the country and received his Masters of Divinity from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC.
At a young age, Connor fell in love with the church and pursued an increasing number of ministries to participate in including choir, youth group, prayer team, small groups, youth mission trips, audio video teams, praise band, and more. It was more than obvious for him to accept his calling into ministry.
After interning with a church in Arlington, VA, they offered him a full time position as their Assistant Minister. During the time he was serving in Arlington, he met his wife, Jennifer. They were married amid the pandemic in August 2020.
Connor enjoys reading, studying theology and church history, movies, music, and all things sports (especially Nashville Predators hockey and Tennessee Vols football. Go Vols!).
Connor holds a firm belief that having faith in Christ calls the believer to serve the widow, orphan, foreigner, oppressed, and marginalized as Christ did, and that everyone is called to a ministry of their own.
