From the start, Pastor Williams has worked closely with the Alpharetta Adventist Church, and was there for our first service on June 11, 2005. He officially became our Pastor in December 2006 when the Conference created a brand new, stand-alone district for Alpharetta and the All Nations church in Norcross, which also experienced growth during this time. He preaches at both churches each week and somehow manages to dedicate himself 100% to each congregation.
Pastor Williams brings a wealth of knowledge, skills and energy to our young church, and helps us move forward as we work with God to build this church family in Alpharetta. We feel very blessed to have him!
