Our history

Rhema Word Cathedral is situated in Albany/Dougherty County in the very heart of Southwest Georgia. What began as a “prayer house” in 1935 evolved into a traditional Baptist church called Williams Spring Baptist Church, and eventually grew to its current status as a thriving interdenominational fellowship, Rhema Word Cathedral.

Several pastors served the church throughout the years, and in 1990, Victor L. Powell became pastor. Under Bishop Powell’s leadership, the church has experienced tremendous growth across the board, but the most significant area of growth has been spiritual. Bishop Powell has directed the establishment of several ministries within the church that enabled members to share, discuss, and confront life while embracing the Kingdom.
