About the Pastor

Pastor Ahrien Johnson born and raised in South Central Los Angeles, California, recognized the call on his life at an early age. His teaching ministry began as a teenager teaching Sunday school and special speaking engagements for several years. For seven years at a local church he served as the youth director facilitating events and overseeing youth ministries operations. Although he was moving in the gifts and calling of God he got into a carnal position with God. He ran from the call on his life for some years afterwards. But praise be to God; he acknowledge that the gifts and calling of God on His life is irrevocable. (Romans 11:29)

His Passion to help people

While working in the public schools and labor relations for nearly 17 years he recognized that public education and advocating for the rights of employees wasn’t where God wanted to use him most. God, before the foundation of the world, had called him to be a preacher of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God to the nations. To Win the lost, Consolidate the won, make Disciples and Send out the discipled.  To share the Good News of God’s Love, Power and Unity to a lost, hopeless and dying generation of people. God’s desire for Pastor Ahrien is to provide spiritual enrichment and education to His people and to be and advocate for the Advocate, Jesus Christ. (I John 2:1)

His desire to teach the God’s Word

Pastor Ahrien Johnson has a sincere passion and love for people and the Word of God. His call is to minister locally and throughout the world the uncompromising Word of God. He teaches Believers (Christians) how they can develop a true relationship with God, live by faith and in victory through Jesus Christ. Through real life experience and personal application of the principles of God’s Word he teaches under the anointing of the Holy Spirit submitting to the will of God. Also, through his preaching of the Gospel the Holy Spirit provokes non-believers to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

His personal motto is:  I’m not where I should be, but praise God I’m not where I use to be!  I PRESS!!!He continues to press… 

“I count not myself to have apprehended but this one thing I do, forgetting those things, which are behind, and reaching forth (straining forward) unto those things, which are before, I PRESS toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13-14)!  Pastor Johnson continues to draw closer to God while he presses on to win the lost and make disciples.
