Minister Larry Williams
I have been a dedicated member of Faith Exchange Ministry since 2010 and was ordained as a minister on December 31, 2023. Over the years, I have been honored to serve the congregation by sharing the Word when our pastors are called to minister outside the church. Additionally, my wife and I have had the privilege of hosting visiting ministers, extending hospitality to those serving in the Kingdom.
As an active member of the My Deeper Life (MDL) mentoring program, I have led workshops at MDL conferences on essential topics such as time management, budgeting and finances, and utilizing MDL tools for both spiritual and practical growth.
My passion is to bring biblical understanding into everyday life, helping people apply God’s wisdom in a simple, practical, and transformative way. I encourage believers to take control of their lives, step into their divine calling, and be transformed into the image of Christ.
Through engaging and passionate teaching, I strive to inspire faith, accountability, and personal growth, ensuring that each message is deeply rooted in Scripture and accessible to all. As a member of the Faith Exchange ministry team, my vision is to see lives transformed through the power of the Word, equipping believers to walk boldly in their faith and fulfill their God-given purpose.
