Bishop Clarence R. Williams Jr., Living Word International Ministries, Junction City, Kansas 

Bishop Clarence R. Williams Jr. is senior pastor and founder of Living Word International Ministries located in Junction City, Kansas and serves as the presiding prelate of Living Word Covenant Fellowship. Bishop Williams has been pastoring for more than 44 years and has been used mightily by God to equip pastors and leaders around the world for building strong churches that bring healing and restoration to their members and surrounding communities through the love of Christ.
Bishop Williams holds an Associate Degree in Bible and Pastoral Ministry and Bachelor Degree in Management and Ethics from Manhattan Christian College in Manhattan, Kansas. He also holds a Doctorate in Ministry from Minnesota Graduate School of Theology, Brooklyn Center, Minnesota.
Bishop Williams has traveled both domestically and abroad, encouraging leaders to fight the good fight of faith, possess their inheritance, and finish strong; reflecting the love of Christ in every aspect of ministry and leadership through prayer, fasting, and discipleship. He is a pastor of pastors who has committed to living a holy lifestyle of integrity before God and the world. It is his desire that all pastors lead with conviction and confidence, and that they stand strong and courageous in their God-given authority while holding fast to their Biblical foundational truths. In keeping with the Vision of Living Word, “Restoring Kingdom Living and Making Disciples of Christ,” Bishop Williams has been mandated by God to meet the present and future needs of individuals, families, communities, and ultimately the nation, by providing effective 21st century ministries, programs, workshops, and conferences.
The Vision of Living Word International Ministries gave birth in June of 1992 in the basement of Bishop Williams’ home with eight people and $76 in the bank. The ministry has now grown into the governing body of Living Word Covenant Fellowship, founded in 1999, comprising 22 churches from across the nation, including Kansas, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Trinidad South America, and within the jurisdiction of five district Overseers, of which Bishop serves as the presiding prelate.
Bishop Clarence R. Williams Jr. credits all successes in ministry wholly to prayer and the leading and power of the Holy Spirit. Because he chose to be led by the Spirit, and admonished the people of God to do the same through relationship with God and understanding spiritual warfare, the ministry has flourished into what it is today – a very strong, diverse, and reputable ministry of power, love and excellence.
