Dear Chargers Football Families,
We Hear You and We Have News
Following the Board of Directorsโ recent communication regarding leadership changes within the football program, we are excited to share the next chapter for Chargers football. The Board is proud to announce that Brett Williams has been hired as the new Head Coach of the Lighthouse Christian Chargers football program.
We Welcome Coach Brett Williams
Coach Williams is no stranger to the Chargers. He first joined the Lighthouse Christian
Chargers coaching staff as Defensive Coordinator from 2017 to 2019, before serving
as Head Coach from 2020 to 2023 โ leading this team to the 2021 National
Championship in the homeschool community. He knows this program, this culture,
and these families โ because he has already built something great here.
Coach Williams brings a wealth of elite football experience to this role. He played
college football as a four-year starter for Florida State University under legendary
head coach Bobby Bowden, winning the 1999 National Championship and earning
All-American honors, among many other accolades. He went on to be drafted by and
play for the Kansas City Chiefs โ an experience that shaped him as both a competitor
and a coach before he ever walked the Chargers sideline. After retiring from football,
Brett worked in full-time ministry and has coached high school football for 15 seasons.
Beyond the field, Coach Williams is a family man whose own children have competed in
the Lighthouse Christian Chargers program across football, basketball, soccer, and
more. He is not just a coach returning to this program โ he is a Chargers parent who
has walked these sidelines as a father. His commitment to the discipleship and spiritual
formation of young men is at the heart of how he coaches, and it aligns directly with
what Lighthouse Christian Athletics exists to do.
Coach Williams will lead all coaching and personnel decisions for the Chargers football program, and the Board of Directors is fully committed to supporting his vision as he builds a championship-caliber, Christ-centered program.
In Coach Williamsโ words:
โI am honored to come back and pour into the next generation of Chargers. This
program means a great deal to me. My goal is to build something that is
competitive, Christ-centered, and built to last.โ
Who We Are โ The Foundation of Chargers Athletics
These five pillars are not only what we look for in our coaches and leaders, but what we are committed to building in every athlete who wears a Chargers uniform:
Christ โ Faith is the foundation of everything we do
Culture โ We build something worth belonging to
Competitive โ We pursue excellence on every play
Character โ Who you are matters more than what you win
Competency โ We develop skilled, prepared athletes
A Word to Our Families
We know this season of transition has brought questions and uncertainty. We hear you, and we are grateful for how deeply you care about this program. That care is shared by every member of this Board.
The Lighthouse Christian Chargers were built on something bigger than any one season or any one staff. We move forward with confidence in Godโs continued favor, with Coach Williams leading our athletes, and with the same commitment to Christ, character, and competitive excellence that has always defined this organization.
We ask for your trust.
We ask for your prayers, your patience, and your continued support as we build toward an outstanding 2026 season.
Sincerely,
Lighthouse Christian Board of Directors
Casey Haynes, President
