The Bible says to perfect the saints is the responsibility of every ministry leader.

PASTOR AENEAS WILLIAMS

WISDOM GAINED IN 14 NFL SEASONS AND A HALL OF FAME CAREER

In 1989, New Orleans-raised Aeneas Williams was a junior walk-on defensive back at Southern University. The next year, before earning a B.S. in Accounting in 1990, Aeneas tied the NCAA Division I-AA single-season interception record. He was drafted in the third round of the 1991 draft by the Arizona Cardinals and became a St. Louis Ram in 2001.

During a remarkable 14-year NFL career – that included a Super Bowl appearance, eight Pro Bowls and four All-Pro selections – Aeneas had chances to help some of his teammates through some of life’s rougher patches. These opportunities led Aeneas to the realization that unhappiness doesn’t come from the things in our lives. It comes from things missing from our lives.

COMMUNITY LEADER, ROLE MODEL AND PASTOR OF THE SPIRIT CHURCH IN ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.

Aeneas made his personal commitment to Jesus Christ during his junior year at Southern University and has devoted his off-field life to sharing the wisdom and understanding of the Word of God. He is a beloved St. Louis community leader and role model whose tireless service, outreach and personal counsel has changed lives. Pastor Aeneas has a love for people and a passion for helping each of us fulfill our full potential. In 2007, Aeneas and his wife of 23 years Tracy founded The Spirit Church in St. Louis, MO where he serves as senior pastor.

Aeneas, Tracy, their three daughters Saenea, Tirzah and Cheyenne and son Lazarus live in Creve Coeur, Missouri.

2014 CLASS OF THE NFL HALL OF FAME

On August 2, 2014, Aeneas was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

“IT TAKES RESPECT”

An inspirational insight into Aeneas’ passions, faith and leadership principles. It Takes Respect

is a book with a powerful message that Aeneas wrote before entering the ministry.

SPEAKING

Aeneas shares his “Reaching Your Potential” message in interactive presentations:

  • New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens
  • Corporate leadership meetings focused on talent and preparedness
  • School and University Commencement Addresses
  • Regular appearances on KTVI, FOX 2 St. Louis
  • Guest sermons

Pastor Christina Segundo

Since the early age of 7, Pastor Christina knew she would be in ministry. She remembers as a child sitting in the front row of her parent’s church, admiring the guest ministers that would come and speak. She would say to herself, “That’s what I’m gonna do when I grow up.” At the age of 16, she started teaching God’s word to her church’s youth department.

In 1997, Pastor Christina and her husband stepped into full-time ministry as Youth and Associate Pastors in New Mexico. After 3 short years, God called them back to their hometown of Big Spring, TX to pioneer Family Faith Center.
