Pastor Chad Williams was saved at a young age. Having grown up in a pastor's family, he spent a lot of his childhood at church, both serving and observing. His grandfather, Rev. Carl Shelton, preached in the Piedmont Triad area for 71 years and pastored several churches through the years.
In 2013, Pastor Chad accepted his own calling from the Lord to preach the Gospel. Hesitantly, he answered this call, and ultimately knew it was God's will. While his grandfather was serving as Pastor at Brown Summit Baptist Church, Chad began more of an in-depth role at the church. He quickly became known as "Preacher Chad", and would lead worship, assist with administrative tasks, learn the ins-and-outs of the church, and more importantly minister to the people.
When Pastor Shelton retired in June of 2022, Chad assumed the role as Lead Pastor. Since then, he has completed training in Biblical studies through Faith Bible Institute. While the new position may seem fitting, we know that it was truly part of God's ultimate plan. His heart for the church in centered around Jesus Christ, sharing the Gospel message, and leading the church is worship, witness, and work.
Chad is married to his high school sweetheart, Melissa and they have three beautiful daughters.
