In the fall of 1999, Rev. Chette Williams, Sr. was called to serve as Auburn University’s football team chaplain and the campus director for the Auburn University Chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA).

A noted speaker, author and vital member of the Auburn football program, Williams ministers on a daily basis not only to coaches, players and their families, but to numerous staff throughout the athletic department as well. Through Bible studies and counseling sessions with players and coaches, he counts it a privilege to serve the Auburn Family. Whether offering guidance, encouragement or spiritual direction; his impact on both players and coaches has been profound and God-inspired, resulting in many souls saved and many wayward Christians brought back to a growing and productive life in Christ.

In recognition of his servant leadership Williams was named the 2008 Keystone Leader-in-Residence by Auburn University’s College of Education. He has also received the "Most Distinguished Alumnus" by New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and the Chilton County Auburn Club's Unsung Hero Award.

Chette’s Auburn roots run deep. He was a three-year letterman on the Tigers football team in the early 80’s. During his football career Auburn won the Sugar Bowl, the Citrus Bowl and the Liberty Bowl. He graduated in 1985 with a Bachelor of Science in Adult Education. Chette went on to New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, where he earned a Masters of Divinity in 1993.
