She enjoys imparting to others truths from the word of God that helps them to understand their position in Christ.

A joyful heart is good medicine, (Prov 17:22a)

Elder Lisa Johnson currently works as a Computer Programmer and is in the process of completing her B.A. in Business Management with an emphasis in Religious Studies from Liberty University. She is an alumnus of Illinois Central College and has a ministerial degree from Aenon Bible College.

However, Lady Lisa continues to believe that her first call is to her husband and children and purposes to balance her time in ministry without jeopardizing the relationships that God has entrusted to her care. An avid “Soccer Mom” she spends much of her free time enjoying time with her children and encouraging them to be all that God has destined them to be. Pastor and Lady Johnson have three children who all serve faithfully in various aspects of the youth ministry.
