Jamaal Williams
Jamaal had his life changed forever when, at the age of 9, he watched his father become a Christian. A few years later, his parents accepted a call to full-time ministry. In 2006, while attending Michigan State University and worshipping at Faith Fellowship Baptist Church, he accepted God’s call to preach. After college, he moved to Louisville to attend The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He received his MA from the Billy Graham School of Missions in 2014 and my doctorate (DEdMin) in Black Church Leadership in 2018. In Louisville, he joined Forest Baptist Church, an African-American church more than 150 years old. At Forest, he served first as young adult pastor and then as lead pastor, from 2008-2015. In 2016, he accepted the call to become lead pastor of Sojourn Midtown. Midtown is now growing as a multicultural, multi-generational church that emphasizes reaching people with the gospel, building them up as the Church, and sending them into the world. The best decision he ever made was marrying Amber. They were married in 2009 and are the proud parents of five beautiful children
Jamaal is a co-author (with Timothy Paul Jones) of In Church as It Is In Heaven: Cultivating a Multiethnic Kingdom Culture, published by InterVarsity Press.
