Bishop James E. Johnson, after fervent prayer  Pastor Johnson, his wife, Alice and several others devoted Christians  answered the call, and New Church of the Living God was established. The  first service was held in the George Smith Library meeting room on  September 14, 2003 with 16 members joining in with this new ministry  after the first service.

The Characteristics that best describe  Bishop Johnson as a pastor are  the infectious love for God's people, a  heart to serve the Lord,  life-changing preaching,  a man of faith and  action and a teacher of the people. He is a servant leader that leads by  example. Bishop James E. Johnson  continues to pursue the mandate that  God gave him stating " Take care of the people and God will take care of  the Church".

He is a graduated of Friends University.  Bishop James E. Johnson has been happily married for 29 years to his  wife, Sister Alice Curry-Johnson.

God's love is amazing, and very different from human love. God's love is  unconditional.  You are loved because God is Love.  His love is not  based on feelings or emotions. He doesn't love us because we're lovable.  He loves us because we belong to Him.  He created us to have a loving  relationship with Him, and He sacrificed His own Son (who also willingly  died for us) to restore that relationship.
