Dr. Chris Williamson leads the Strong Tower Bible Church, a multiracial fellowship in Nashville, which began in 1995. He is one of the architects of the Fuller Story Initiative, which calls attention to the agonies and accomplishments of African Americans before, during, and after the Civil War. The initiative is responsible for the placement of a life-size statue of a United States Colored Troop soldier that stands in the center of Franklin, Tennessee. Dr. Williamson is the author of two books and serves as an adjunct professor at Trevecca Nazarene University, teaching in the fields of theology, race, and African American worship studies. He presides over the Strong Tower Association of Churches, which provides support to pastors and churches that are gospel-driven, racially diverse, and justice- oriented.
