OUR FOUNDER & OVERSEER

Godfrey Randolph Williams is a native of Fortune Hills, San Salvador. He is the proud father of six and a grandfather. He is married to the lovely Minister Iris Williams. On January 30, 1983, he assumed the leadership of St. John’s Native Baptist Church, in Freeport, Grand Bahama.

Throughout the 80s, hundreds packed the 500-seat facility located on Coral Road. Most Sundays, latecomers were faced with not having a seat. In 1991 during a recession, God gave Pastor Williams a vision to rise up and build the first Cathedral on the island of Grand Bahama.

Although there were many trials during the building process, on November 10, 1998, thousands from around the world witnessed the dedication of St. John’s Jubilee Cathedral, which has the capacity to hold 2,500 people.

Bishop Williams holds a BSc. In Christian Counseling and an honorary Doctorate in Divinity and has studied theology at Virginia Union University. He presently serves as Regional Bishop and in 2011 was appointed Ambassador to the Hispanic American Association.

OUR SENIOR PASTOR

Laquez Williams was born and raised in Freeport, Grand Bahama. He is the son of Bishop Godfrey and Minister Iris Williams. He is married to the love of his life, Chantal Williams and they have been blessed with one son.

On April 9, 2023, after serving faithfully as executive pastor, Bishop Godfrey announced that the appointed time had come to ordain Pastor Laquez as senior pastor of Jubilee Cathedral.

Pastor Laquez has degrees from Oral Roberts University and Valor Christian College. He served at one church in Ohio upon graduation. But ultimately, his steps were ordered by the Lord to return home and help his father carryon the work in the vineyards at home.

In addition to serving as senior pastor of Jubilee Cathedral, Pastor Laquez also serves as COO of Godfrey R. Williams Ministries.

OUR MINISTRY

We are a community-focused church. We believe in taking the message of the Gospel to the world and in demonstrating God’s love in action in our own cities.

Under Bishop Godfrey’s leadership, the church has implemented several social programs that cater to the poor, orphans, and widows. In 2000 Bishop Williams spearheaded the largest outreach project ever in the Bahamas.

Through this project, he was able to sow dry goods, meats, shoes, and clothing into the community. In 2002 he began negotiations to purchase one of the top academic schools in the nation. About one year later he was the owner of that institution now renamed, Sunland Baptist Academy.

Some 30-plus years later, Bishop Williams continues to invest in the lives of people. He has shown this through his impeccable character and unwavering commitment to God and to the people God has entrusted to his care.
