  • Greg Williams
    Greg Williams Greg Williams (pictured at right with his wife Susan) is GCI Vice President, Director of GCI-USA Church Administration and Development (CAD), and Superintendent of U.S. Ministers. Along with the rest of his family, Greg became part of WCG/GCI in the mid-1970s. “My father was afflicted with an arthritic condition that landed him in bed for a year. He was serving as a lay pastor with a small Advent Christian Church at the time. After completing the WCG Bible Correspondence Course , he led my family into WCG.” Greg was a junior in high school when he and his family began attending WCG. “I joined in WCG’s Youth Opportunity United (YOU) activities. Through YOU I participated in two national track meets at the Ambassador College campuses in Pasadena, California and Big Sandy, Texas.” After attending a YOU leadership conference in Pasadena, Greg was offered a YOU scholarship to attend Ambassador College. He attended beginning in 1979. During the summer between his junior and senior years at AC, Greg was selected to be a ministerial trainee in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. “I had a fabulous experience working alongside four pastors who poured into my life in various ways. As a result, the sense of calling to pastoral ministry was planted in my heart and mind.” Greg met his wife Susan (Lang) at AC and they were married in 1984. At the time, Greg was working at Imperial High School teaching history and physical education. “We attended the Glendora congregation while I worked at Imperial and then in May 1985 I was hired as a full-time ministerial trainee, working initially with Doug Horchak and then Dennis Wheatcroft in the Glendora congregation.” In 1987, shortly after the birth of their twin sons, Glenn and Garrett, the Williams’ family moved to Denver, Colorado, where Greg served as associate pastor until 1991.

MAN EVER SPOKE likethis man," reported their officers to the Pharisees regarding Jesus. The multitudes "were astonished at His doctrine." Today the same living Christ, through The WORLD TOMOR- ROW broadcast, The PLAIN TRUTH magazine, and THIS WORK, proclaims in mighty power around the world His SAME GOSPEL the same Gospel preached by Peter, Paul, and the original Apostles. Twenty-two million people hear this dynamic Message every week, on every inhabited continent of the earth. And today, just as 1900 years ago, multitudes are ASTONISHED at His doctrine, and say: "No man ever spoke like this!" It is as shockingly different today as it was then. WHY should that be? Every week thousands hear this astonishing Message for the first time. And so itis natural that many begin to ask: "WHO IS THIS? Who isbehind this Work? Who sponsors it? HOW can such a powerful program go out over the air world-wide, without ever making an appeal for public financial support? WHY do they never beg for contributions? HOW can they publish such an attrac- tive,interesting news magazine and never charge asubscription price or accept any advertising?" One man said, incredulously, "It's a mystery to me-I simply can't understand it! Nobody ever did anything like it before-and yet this Work keeps growing and multiplying in power and scope."
