Senior Pastors - Bo and Khristie Johnson

Pastors Bo & Khristie Johnson are the founders and Senior Pastors of Living Word Church. Living Word Church was started in April 2004 to provide a place of love and acceptance in and around the community. Living Word Church is known as A Place of Healing and Hope.

 

Bo & Khristie, along with the Living Word Church community, have a heart to reach the lost, the unchurched and those who have reached a place of frustration and feel that the church is no longer relevant. Bo & Khristie, who have been married 20 years and have 4 children, have served in many various roles since getting involved in ministry in 1994 including children's ministry, youth ministry, outreach ministry, radio, television, small group ministry and music ministry management. Their vision, the vision of Living Word Church, is to see a thriving, passionate, casual, Christ centered group of believers raised up to meet the needs of the people of the communities in our area, surrounding areas, Jefferson County, the state of Alabama, the USA and the entire world.

 

Believing that the message never changes but the methods are constantly evolving pastors Bo & Khristie, along with the congregation of Living Word Church, have a strong desire to see Living Word Church stay on the cutting edge and remain relevant to the people of the area and other areas that we are trying to reach with the good news of Jesus Christ.

 

Both Bo & Khristie are from the area and are Graduates of Hewitt Trussville High School. Bo-1986 Khristie-1989.

 

Pastor Bo has a degree in Theology from Life Christian University in Tampa. FL and Khristie has a degree in education from Athens State University in Athens, AL .

 

Pastor Bo & Khristie believe that to be effective in the community, we must be involved. Pastor Bo is active in the local Chamber of Commerce as well as coaching soccer and softball in the local youth leagues. Pastor Bo also serves on the park board for the city of Clay. Khristie is part of a weekly community Bible study and heavily involved with a local home school group.

 

Bo & Khristie believe that the bottom line is we must be involved with the community, available to the people and responsive to the needs.

 

If you aren't already actively involved with another group of believers we encourage you to stop by and be our guest for the day. Upon checking out what God is doing at LWC you may find just the right spot for you to fulfill God's purpose in your life.
