"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way." (John C. Maxwell)
Elder Sylvester Williams was born and raised in Pittsylvania County (Axton, VA). From an early age, his parents instilled godly principles into him and his two brothers. He began playing the piano at the age of 9.
His immediate and extended family are all musically talented which led to him playing the piano at family events and for his local church. After graduating from high school, Elder Williams received his Bachelor of Science from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in Richmond, VA.
Later, he moved to Charlotte, NC. In 2002, God led Elder Williams to begin Solid Rock Christian Church in Huntersville, NC. With just his wife and three young kids, they grew the ministry.
In 2017, he returned to Reformed Theological Seminary. In 2018, Elder Williams planted Overcomers Ministry in Mooresville, NC. In the secular world, he has worked as an IT professional for almost 30 years. In God's Kingdom, he's an anointed preacher and teacher.
