"I will go" implies that you have made a decision to go, whereas "I am going" is more of a statement of the fact.
As for "I am going..." the time is implied in your sentence, (that it is in the future). But it can be either way, for example, "I am going to the park this afternoon" which is in the future or "I am going to the park now." which is in the present. Same sentence, just different time words.

They both mean the same thing. In spoken English it's more likely to hear "I'm going to", or to contract "I will" into "I'll". This might help some: http://www.englishgrammarsecrets.com/goingtoorw...
