Meet the Pastor
Pastor Kevin Williams was born on October 2 in Bogalusa, Louisiana to the late Rev. Clifton Williams, Sr. and Eula Williams. He has two brothers (Clifton Jr. and Kendall) and three sisters (Debra, Denita and Leslie). Kevin graduated from Southeastern University located in Hammond, LA where he received a degree in Communications. He was licensed to preach on August 18, 1985 and ordained on January 26, 1992. At the age of 28, in August 1994, Kevin became the pastor of St. Mary Congregational Church.
He is a child of God, unique in his ways, not perfect, but displays the fruit of the Spirit. Pastor Williams does not try to imitate any other pastor; he is himself as God leads him, and you NEVER know what you will see, hear, or what he will do any time he is preaching a sermon. His sermons are lively, unique and most importantly, from the word of God. All of his attributes have been bestowed upon him by two very important people in his life: his dad and mentor, the late Rev.
Clifton Williams, Sr., and his mother, the lovely, Eula Williams.
Pastor Williams has four children: Kyle, Marcy, Kevin Jr. (K.J.) and Kniamya.
In October 2012, he married his love Tarasha which helped place a sparkle back into his eyes.
Through this union, he also gained two more children: Makayla and Chloe, while later adopting three beautiful girls: Kya, Kristan and Kenzie!
Meet the First Lady
Being that her mother was a senior in high school at the time of her birth, she had two great grandparents that legally adopted her to allow her mother to go to college; the late Elijah Goodwin and Marzell Goodwin. Tarasha accepted God into her life at an early age and was a member of the Oak Grove Baptist Church in Plantersville, Alabama, where her grandfather served as the chairman of the Deacon board, and she served as Sunday School Teacher and piano player for several years.
Tarasha attended elementary and high school at Maplesville High School in Alabama. After graduating, she attended The University of Alabama where she received a degree in Special Education and later obtained two Masters Degrees; Health Studies and School Counseling. She has a love for children and and has taught/counseled in school systems for the past twenty years in Alabama, Georgia, and currently Louisiana.
Tarasha attributes her determination and skills as a committed Godly woman, to her role models: the only father-figure in her childhood life, her Grandfather, the late Elijah Goodwin; her wonderful mother, Margie Nelson and father, Arthur Nelson; and her sweet, God-fearing Grandmother, Marzell Goodwin. She has one biological sister (Jasmyne) and through union, four sisters and two brothers. Tarasha has gone through many trials and heartaches with the help of God as she raised her two biological children, Makayla & Chloe and a set of adopted twins that currently reside with their biological mother in Georgia, Jaylon & Jazlyn. In October 2012, after all that she went through in her life, God smiled on the work that Tarasha had done and allowed her to finally live her fairytale life. Tarasha was united in marriage to her God-sent husband, Kevin M.A. Williams, Sr, and through this union, she not only obtained a wonderful husband, but she was also blessed with a home filled with seven beautiful children; Kyle, Marcy, Kevin (KJ), Kniamya, Kya, Kristan and Kenzie.
