About the Pastor

Hey friends...
I'm Michael Williams. We are so excited and grateful to be part of the Mount Gilead community.
I'm fortunate to be married to Jen, with whom I share a journey, rooted in faith and love. Together we have 5 daughters, including 2 sets of twins: Caitlin, Cierra, Mikayla, Britton and Cameryn. They are discovering what adulting is all about as they each navigate through their mid 20s. We have one grandson, Grayson, who offers us boundless joy and endless laughter. 
I'm a native of Edenton NC which once served as our official state capital. I attended Methodist University in Fayetteville and  am currently enrolled in the Duke University Theological Course of Study as I prepare to become an Ordained Elder in the United Methodist Church. 
I enjoy playing guitar and using that gift wherever I am able. I find peace hiking the beautiful trails throughout NC and am especially grateful for all of the natural beauty the Mount Gilead area offers. 
I am steadfast in my commitment to share the love and grace of Christ wherever and whenever I am able. 
Come on by and have a cup of coffee with me and let's get to know one another better. Grace and Peace!
Pastor Michael
