Some people preach about transformation. Pastor Charlene D. Williams has lived it.
Affectionately known as “Pastor C,” she is a dynamic prophetic voice, transformational leader, author, and mentor whose ministry spans more than 26 years. With a commanding presence, a compassionate heart, and an unmistakable passion for people, Pastor Charlene has devoted her life to awakening purpose, restoring hope, and empowering believers to become everything God created them to be.
Her ministry is as authentic as it is anointed. Having navigated her own seasons of adversity, loss, and restoration, Pastor C brings more than biblical knowledge to the pulpit; she brings lived experience. Known for her bold truth, practical wisdom, and prophetic insight, she has a remarkable ability to challenge people while making them feel seen, valued, and empowered. She doesn't just want people to experience a moment with God; she wants them to experience a life transformed by Him.
Today, Pastor Charlene serves as the Executive Pastor of The Word Church in Fayetteville, Georgia, alongside Founder and Senior Pastor Bishop Adrian D. Williams. With a heart for people and a vision for Kingdom excellence, she is passionate about cultivating a thriving, multigenerational church where faith is strengthened, leaders are developed, families are restored, and purpose is activated.
As the Founder and CEO of CDW Ministries, her influence extends nationally and internationally through preaching, prophetic ministry, mentorship, and leadership development. She is also the visionary behind the I AM SHE Network, a movement empowering women to embrace their identity, reclaim their confidence, and boldly pursue their God-given assignments.
An accomplished author, Pastor Charlene shares her journey of faith and resilience through Chronicles of a Survivor and equips women for intentional spiritual growth through I AM SHE: Prayer Journal & Planner.
Yet, beyond the microphone, ministry platforms, and leadership titles, Pastor C treasures her role as a devoted mother of four. Her heart is rooted in faith, family, and the belief that true ministry is measured not by the size of a platform, but by the lives transformed through it.
Pastor Charlene D. Williams is more than a preacher. She is a voice of awakening, a builder of people, and a woman on a mission to help others rise, reclaim their purpose, and SOAR.
