Bishop Williams has dedicated most of his life to serving the Lord. With expertise in church leadership, teaching, choir directing, and preaching, his ministry journey began in 1995 in Flint, MI. However, he often reflects on a revival night in August of that year, when he realized he had “known God all his life.”

Bishop Williams pursued higher education at Eastern Michigan University, where he studied Psychology. He then attended Slidell Baptist Seminary, earning both his Associates and Bachelor's degrees in Theology and Ministry Leadership, graduating Magna Cum Laude. In August 2021, he completed his Master of Divinity degree and, in 2023, began his Doctorate of Ministry in Pastoral Ministry at Andersonville Theological Seminary.

Under his leadership, the church's children’s and youth ministries grew exponentially, impacting over 100 children.

Bishop Williams has served in numerous roles across Southeast Michigan and Louisville, Kentucky, including the launch of youth and young adult ministries, mentorship programs, music ministry, public relations, and more. He has been involved with the Gospel Music Workshop of America (GMWA) and the Ministerial Alliance, furthering his influence in the church community.

In July 2022, Bishop Williams was consecrated as an Overseer under Bishop Derrick D. Robinson and Kingdom Destiny Fellowship International.

Mitchell. In December 2024, he was elected Bishop-Elect for the 2025 class. In August 2025, he was concecrated as a Bishop in the Lord's Church.

Bishop Williams is also the owner of “A More Excellent Way, LLC”, a ministry umbrella that incorporates his diverse talents, with a special focus on young male grooming and counseling.

His ministry has been deeply shaped by the teachings of great figures such as the late Rev. Dr. J.C. Curry, Rev. Dr. Robert E. Bailey, Bishop Jerry L. Boose, Pastor Rodrick K. Green, Dr. Waverly Bumbrey, Dr. Terrance Bridges, Rev. Mattie Hunter, Rev. Wardell Jones, Rev. George Waddles Jr., Pastor M. Berry, Pastor M.A. Flaniken, Superintendent Herman Love, and Bishop James Covington, among others.

In September 2021, Bishop Williams married his soulmate, Elect Lady Prophetess Z'Keiya J. Williams, a Detroit native. The couple welcomed their son, L. Deon Williams II, in August 2022.

Bishop Williams’ achievements include being named a Michigan Chronicles 2024 40 Under 40 honoree and becoming a published author. His book, Battles and Ballads, was released in June 2025. In September 2025, he launched "Voices of Nehemiah" set to record in early 2026.
