On August 1, 1993, Pastors William Jr. & Katherine Coleman founded Word of Faith Church in Saint Louis, MO with a vision to bring their community to faith in Jesus through the word of God.  They served faithfully together until Pastor William Jr.’s death in 2014.  Pastor Katherine continued to lead the church in her husband’s absence until she retired on January 24, 2021.  It was on that day, that she entrusted the leadership of the church to their son Pastor William (Will) Coleman III.

Building upon his parents legacy, Pastor Will has brought a fresh vision inspired by Proverbs 29:18 which says, “Where there is no vision (Chazown) , the people perish,” the opposite is also true; where there is God’s Chazown, people will thrive! It is Pastor Will’s passion to bring God’s Chazown to the community of Saint Louis and as a result the name of the church was changed from Word of Faith Church to Chazown Church.  Pastor Will is a graduate of Oral Roberts University, where he met his wife Davina. Will and Davina have been married since 2006 and they have three beautiful daughters.
