Lead pastors

Eric & Angela Johnson

Pastors Eric and Angela Johnson have been married since 2005. They are blessed with four wonderful children. Pastor Eric & Angela are both Assembly of God ministers. They share a love for the outdoors, embracing activities like hiking, fishing, and camping.  
Pastor Eric loves all Volkswagens- old and new. He is always coordinating his Nike shoe collection with his bowties. In 1990 you would have caught him riding a skateboard, saltwater fishing, and washing dishes at Moore's Stonecrab Restaurant in Longboat Key, Florida. At the age of 12, he began experimenting with drugs. It snowballed into a full-blown intravenous drug addiction. In 2001, he attended Alabama Adult & Teen Challenge where his life was forever changed by the Lord.
Pastor Angela enjoys shopping at small boutiques, Express jeans, and trying new foods. You can catch her with something leopard on. In 1994 you would have found her leading worship for her youth group every week in Mobile, Alabama. In 2000 she attended Masters Commission and began travelling telling people about Jesus while leading worship!

Meet the team.
