Brian M. Williams

Founder & Senior Pastor

Brian M. Williams is the husband of Tiaira and the proud father of seven vibrant children: Jasmine, Rachel, Samuel, Josiah, Hadassah, Ariel, and Rhema. He serves as the founder and Senior Pastor of Hope City Global, a multi-expression Antioch model based in Columbus, Ohio—consisting of Hope City Church (local church), YWAM Columbus (missions training and sending), and the Columbus House of Prayer (day and night prayer and worship).

Marked by a deep hunger for revival and awakening in Columbus and the nations, Pastor Brian is known for his uncompromising preaching, deliverance ministry, and unwavering devotion to the presence of God. His apostolic vision has shaped a missional community committed to exalting Jesus, equipping saints, and engaging the harvest both locally and globally.

A Columbus native, Pastor Brian holds a Master’s Degree in Biblical Studies. He and Tiaira are also both graduates of The Ohio State University and have shared a lifelong commitment to seeing their city and generation transformed by the power of the gospel. Before launching Hope City in 2011, he served as a missionary, preaching the gospel and leading evangelistic crusades in India, as well as ministering throughout Taiwan and other nations.

Under his leadership, Hope City Global continues to be a house of prayer, a training center for missionaries, and a local church community of people branded by the love of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit.
