Coach Lawrence

Student & Young Adult Pastor

Born in Atlanta, Ga, and raised in Decatur, Ga, Lawrence Williams, II affectionately known as Coach Lawrence by many is a graduate of Alabama A&M University and Columbia Theological Seminary, father of three amazing children (Jahayla, Lawrence III, and Kason), a husband to Kentira Williams, and a member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.

He watched his parents not only create an environment for learning, but also an environment that demanded excellence in every area of the lives of every student that came through the doors of their school.

His passion and love for helping young people to become the best version of themselves spans over 15 years of service as an educator in the Fulton, Gwinnett, and DeKalb County School Systems, volunteering for organizations such as Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), NG3, New Mercies Christian Church Youth Ministry, coaching youth football, and eventually co-founding The HUDDLE Group that services middle and high school students in the Metro Atlanta Area.

It is his goal to ensure that the footprints of our young men and women are left to lead those that are coming after them to be impactful members of our society to ensure change takes place.
