Eddie J. Williams, Fullback of the National Football League Cleveland Browns, announced this week his calling as Young Adult Pastor of Mountain Vineyard Christian Fellowship in Covington, WA. The group will have a special event this weekend, a Saturday Night Easter service for all who want to attend called “Rise” at 7:00pm at the church, where they will be performing Baptisms, while celebrating Christ.

Williams, who resides in Seattle in the off-season, became a Christian at the age of eighteen while at university, after a turbulent childhood in which he grew up poor, and in rough neighborhoods. Williams’ young adult group, called REACH, which the former Seattle Seahawks player runs along with his leadership team, currently as a growing membership of over forty-five area youth attendees each Wednesday at 7:00pm.

Twenty-year old group attendee Justin Blair said, “It’s awesome to see a young adult’s pastor like Eddie so driven to connect with the youth on a personal level while still unapologetically speaking the truth about Jesus.”

Williams is currently enrolled at the Resurgence Training Center (Re:Train) at Mars Hill in Seattle, and will pursue his Masters in Divinity at Western Seminary in Portland. Williams’ underlined his purpose by stating, “Our goal is to give the youth a perspective on the unchanging word of Jesus. They are being fed from so many different sources in our culture. It’s time they receive the only thing that really matters: God.”
