J. Thomas Johnson

J. Thomas Johnson grew up in Massachusetts. He is a graduate both of Gordon College in Wenham, MA (B.A.) and of Nazarene Theological Seminary in Kansas City, MO (M.Div.) where he taught biblical Hebrew from 2006-10. His first full-time pastorate began in 2000, and during his 20 years of pastoral service, he pastored churches in Illinois, Missouri, New Hampshire, and New York.

In March of 2021 J. Thomas resigned his credential as an ordained minister in the Church of the Nazarene in order to follow God’s call on him to leave the denomination in which he was raised. He continues to preach and teach the Scriptures in diverse venues.
