From Catholic Roots to Baptist Faith

Douglas Paul Johnson, the driving force behind our ministry, embarked on a transformative spiritual journey. Initially raised in the Catholic tradition, his path meandered through various Christian denominational churches before finding a steadfast and profound faith in the Baptist tradition. This diverse background informs our approach to ministry outreach, allowing us to connect with individuals from various walks of life.
