Where Faith Meets Finances with Pastor Aeneas Williams

Pastor Aeneas has a passion for people and a heart for leading them to Christ. This calling was evident even during his 14-year NFL career—10 years with the Arizona Cardinals and 4 with the St. Louis Rams—where he became known not only for his athletic excellence but also for his unwavering faith and leadership. Throughout his time in the NFL, Pastor Aeneas and his wife, Pastor Tracy, hosted a Bible study for couples in Arizona, sowing seeds of faith long before he formally accepted the call to ministry.

Today, he serves as Lead Pastor of The Spirit Church, where he and Pastor Tracy partner in shepherding the congregation. Married for over 30 years, they have four adult children and a shared passion for building strong families and communities.

Pastor Aeneas brings the same discipline, commitment, and excellence that defined his football career into his ministry—preaching the gospel, mentoring leaders, and empowering believers to live out their faith. He is especially passionate about reaching men, building marriages, and cultivating a Spirit-led church that impacts generations.
