“My family is rich in the heritage of the Gospel, in spoken-word ministry as well as music.

That was the foundation I grew up on.” Although he had cousins who had been singing from the cradle, William’s talents only came to light when he sang for the first time in front of a congregation at age 14, after being active in school musical programs. “I was the late bloomer in the family,” he remembers.

“I just woke up one morning and discovered I could sing! For a number of years I thought I would just use that gift in my father’s and grandfather’s church, and that would be it. His first major step, on the ladder of recognition as a worship leader came when he met Bishop Paul S.

Morton, the International Presiding Bishop at a national convention of The Full Gospel Baptist Church Fellowship in 1995. William was asked to record a song for the album released from that conference, on which Bishop Long gave a spoken introduction. The two soon became friends and William was offered the position of the Fellowship’s worship minister.

His presence was felt during fellowship, and word of his immense talents spread farther. In 2001, Bishop Long presented William with an opportunity to serve at New Birth. William, his wife and two children moved to Atlanta when he became the church’s Senior Minister of Worship, a position he held until December 2005.

In January 2006, he and his wife, Pastor Danielle launched the dReam Center Church of Atlanta. The dReam Center Church of Atlanta is alive, teaching men to cultivate, strengthen and build their personal relationships with Jesus, their wives, their children, their families and their communities through education, wealth development, social action, prayer, worship, family and evangelism.
