Williams Temple Church Of God

Minister Columbus Williams started his work as a Pastor in September 1929 under the leadership of the late Overseer Daniel Bostick. Minister Williams was not a licensed minister nor did he ask Bishop Bostick for a church. He obeyed the word of God that was spoken to him saying Go ye therefore into all the world, and preach the gospel of deliverance from sin. Immediately Minister Williams, his wife, Mrs. Della Williams, his sister-in-law, Mrs. Martha Thompson, and three other women established the Williams Temple Church of God in Christ in a store front, adjoining a poolroom at 1702 Gratiot Street.
