J. Thomas Johnson

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.
