Biography of Dr. Marvin Williams
 

Dr. Marvin Williams views his life as God calling. As such, he presently lives out his calling as the Lead Pastor of Trinity Church in Lansing, Michigan, a faith community for sinners and misfits, who love Jesus and desire to grow in him. He has served the people of Trinity since February 2010. At Trinity, he is primarily responsible for teaching the Bible, where he champions inside-out living through the free grace of God.

Among other pastoral responsibilities, he was the primary communicator and vision caster. Dr. Williams served the people of Tabernacle for over eight years. Before planting Tabernacle Community Church, he served for three years at Calvary Church, as an assistant preaching pastor under the leadership of Ed Dobson.
