Rev. Golson is a Denver native, graduating from East High School in Denver. He continued his education at Southern Colorado State College where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Electronic Engineering Technology in 1972. Before becoming full-time pastor of True Light in September of 1992, Rev. Golson was employed for 17 years as a Program Manager at Ball Aerospace Systems Group in Boulder, Colorado.

In conjunction with his secular employment, he also served as Minister of Youth and Minister of Outreach and Education while at New Hope Baptist Church. In 1988, he and his family planted True Light Baptist Church in the Montbello subdivision of Denver. Under his leadership, True Light has grown to an average Sunday morning attendance of 450.

He graduated from Denver Seminary with a Masters of Divinity Degree in 2000 and is currently enrolled in the Doctor of Ministry Executive Leadership Program.

His wife, Mrs. Melvia Golson, in her own right is truly a leader. She also has been active in every aspect of the establishing of the church. The statement “behind every great man is a great lady” certainly applies to her as “leading lady.” Pastor Golson and Melvia have two grown children Melody Rose and William III, who are also active in the life and work of the church. Both serve in various leadership roles throughout the church and are a great blessing to their parents.

Rev. Golson’s ministerial philosophy is rooted in the acknowledgment of God’s power as expressed in the Pauline benediction of Ephesians 3:20, 21 (NKJV), “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” God has truly manifested his power in the life of Pastor Golson and in the body of believers that he is called to serve.
