Jerry Williams was lead singer/songwriter of the group Harvest and founder and former president of Harvest Ministries (established in 1977). A forerunner in Contemporary Christian Music, Harvest had a large following from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s and made 14 albums and 2 music videos.

Under Williams leadership, Harvest established a discipleship program that ministered to many artists who went on to further ministries. These include former original Harvest members CCM artist Ed Kerr (Integrity Music) and well known Messianic Music artist Paul Wilbur. He was also a member of the group Mesa along with his two friends Dana Key of DeGarmo & Key and Dallas Holm, both CCM artists. Mesa released one album in 1993 entitled Mesa.

Some of Williams' more well known songs include "Because I Am", "Not By Might", "The Battle Is The Lord’s", and "Give Them Back."

Williams and his wife Donna are currently the founders of EPIC (Exiles Pardoned In Christ) Ministries Inc., a non-denominational ministry based in Houston, Texas. While dedicating the majority of his time and effort to EPIC Ministries, Williams has continued to release CDs on his independent DebtFree label. He has released four to date.
