The event, recently held at the Crystal Room in Monongahela, Pa., followed an Official Service of Consecration orchestrated weeks earlier in Asheville, N.C., and conducted by Apostle Reginald J. White, the presiding prelate of the new fellowship entitled, “The Church Of the Millennium.”
Bishop Johnson, the son of a Church of God in Christ pastor, began his preaching ministry at the tender age of 14 and later became an ordained elder by the late Bishop L. B. Davenport and the late Bishop Ithiel Clemmons. He matured into a powerful and anointed preacher and teacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and continued on humbly submitting to the will of God by accepting the mantle of the prophetic ministry for which he was Confirmed in May 2004 at the National Prophetic Believers’ Conference. In October 2004, Bishop Johnson received his Doctorate in Divinity from the Sword of the Spirit School of Ministry.
Bishop Johnson is a true prophet to be heard in this hour and continues to impact God’s people. He has completed his first publication entitled, “My Story: Moving Beyond the Negative Patterns,” which details his life and how God can deliver one from a road of destruction.
His leadership experience afforded the opportunity to proudly pastor First COGIC, in Pittsburgh’s Hill District, as well as his current church in Greensburg. He invites all to “come experience the difference” as he shares in ministry with his wife, Neila D. Johnson, and their combined family that includes eight children. As the second presiding bishop, Johnson says he aims to bring “amazing ministry” to those under his leadership and his passion is to consistently teach God’s principals according the Holy Bible while empowering people to win in life.
