Anthony Williams
Associate Director of Music Ministries and Worship Arts and Director of Early Childhood Music School
Office: 757-229-1771 ext 108
Anthony Williams, or Mr. Anthony as the kids call him, and his wife Annalena have been cherished members of the WUMC family since 2015. They first met at Randolph-Macon College while working together in the mailroom and eventually chose WUMC as the venue for their wedding, solidifying their ties to the church. When they're not taking in all that Busch Gardens has to offer (which isn't often!), the couple enjoys quality time with their families in the surrounding area and doting on their fur baby, Sherlock. Anthony, a multifaceted talent, finds joy in playing the guitar, piano, and singing a repertoire that spans from alternative rock to classic rock.
Joining WUMC in 2015 as the Associate Director of Music, Anthony's role expanded in 2016 to include the position of Director of The Early Childhood Music ministry. In this weekday program, Anthony collaborates with teachers and students, ranging from 2 months to the young at heart. Armed with his degrees from Randolph-Macon College (BA in Music) and George Mason University (Master of Music in Composition), Anthony brings a wealth of knowledge to his position. His commitment to professional growth is evident through certifications with MusikGarten, completion of the Choristers Guild Institute, and ongoing commissions and publications for his original compositions. Anthony's passion for music education, honed through years of experience, centers around instilling music fundamentals and igniting a love for music in students of all ages.
