Jeff Johnson - Associate Pastor of Life Care and Financial Administrator
Jeff Johnson was raised near Williamston and enjoyed spending time at his grandparents’ farm in Fowlerville. In the early 1980s Jeff moved to Florida where he met the two most significant people in his life, The Lord Jesus Christ and his wonderful wife Carrie. Jeff and Carrie have become convinced that the perfect spacing of children is every 6 to 12 years after testing this theory with their three sons, Tom, Tim, and Jared. An interesting side effect of this theory is that Jared is only four and six years older than his nephews. Jeff is a graduate of Liberty University studying Psychology and Theology. Immediately before arriving at Cedar Street, Jeff served as a pastor and church planter in northern Michigan.
