Pastor Williamson is a graduate of Northern Caribbean University, formally West Indies College, where he obtained his bachelor's degree with a double major in the field of Theology and Business Administration. He also holds master's degrees in Math Education and School Administration from Atlantic Union College, an SBL from St. John's University, and a Certificate in Curriculum Framework and Design from Yale University.
After graduation, He received his first pastoral assignment from the Guyana Conference of Seventh-day Adventist and was assigned to the Georgetown No. 1 District, which consisted of these three churches (Central, Ephesus and Carmel). He was later assigned to the Upper East Coast Demerara, a District of six churches before leaving for the United States of America. Those experiences helped to solidify his passion for evangelism, and his love for the youth and young adult ministry.
Upon arriving in the United States without a formal pastoral call, He enjoined himself in the field of evangelism and member reclamation. Pastor Williamson has worked in the Northeastern Conference territory for the last twenty (20) years in the Central Islip Circuit with Pastor Jackson, Bronx Temple with Pastor Nigel Lewis, Patmos SDA and Immanuel SDA churches with Pastor Stewart, Bridgeport SDA with Pastor Rudolph Peters before being hired as a Math and Science teacher and then Pastor. Pastor Williamson loves evangelism and has held evangelistic efforts throughout the West Indies and in many churches throughout North America. Pastor Williamson is coming to us from the Berea Nyack SDA church (Nyack New York).
In addition to his pastoral duties, Pastor Williamson also works as a Chaplain, a Radio and Television Host of the Restride Program, and the Pillars of Faith Broadcast on Voices of Praise International. He also worked for United Way and Safe Space organizations, helping to shape young people into making better choices in life. It is his desire to reach young people by any means necessary. He believes there is a place for youth evangelism in our churches today, and it is his desire to create a ministry that trains youth for the cause of evangelism.
