Dr. LaCedric Williams, Senior Pastor of Greater Community First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, and a seasoned church planter and ministry leader, announces the release of his latest book, Sacred Roots, Bold Vision: Mentoring Young Black Preachers to Lead Legacy Churches with Integrity and Vision. Drawing from more than two decades of pastoral experience, Dr. Williams provides a culturally relevant leadership guide designed to equip emerging Black church leaders for the unique challenges of legacy congregations.

In Sacred Roots, Bold Vision, Dr. Williams addresses the spiritual, emotional, and generational demands that young preachers face while stepping into positions of leadership. The book blends biblical wisdom with practical leadership principles, offering guidance on building trust across generations, navigating church change, shepherding beyond the pulpit, mentorship, spiritual warfare in leadership, and leading with integrity, humility, and purpose.

“After years of mentoring young leaders, I realized there was a critical need for guidance tailored specifically to Black preachers leading legacy churches,” says Dr. Williams. “This book is a roadmap for honoring sacred history while embracing innovative vision for the future.”

Dr. Williams holds a Doctor of Ministry (DMin) in Pastoral Leadership and multiple coaching and leadership certifications, including Certified Life Coach, Mental Health Coach, and John Maxwell Certified Team Member. Known for his dedication to mentoring leaders and strengthening communities, he brings both personal experience and professional insight to this transformative guide.
