Drew Williams

Head Pastor

Pastor Drew Williams, his wife Megan, their daughter Emersyn (Emmy) and son Oliver (Ollie) are excited to join the New Life Family!

Pastor Drew is passionate about Jesus and reaching the unchurched with the good news of the Gospel. When Pastor Drew is not at work, he loves to grill delicious food, hang out with his family, and spend quiet moments with a book.

If he had a superpower, it would be super hearing so that he could listen to even more podcasts at even faster speeds.
