ATLANTA (ABP) — Former Texas pastor Charles Johnson will serve a one-year appointment as visiting instructor of preaching at Mercer University's McAfee School of Theology.
Johnson served for the past five years as senior pastor of Trinity Baptist Church of San Antonio, Texas, one of the city's largest churches with membership of nearly 6,000.
McAfee dean Alan Culpepper called Johnson “one of the most prophetic Baptist voices of our time, and his commitment to the church and his passion for preaching are contagious.”
Johnson has ministered to Baptists across the Southeast for the past 30 years. He grew up in Alabama and graduated from Mississippi College and Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. After serving two Kentucky churches as pastor, he became pastor of Second Baptist Church of Lubbock, Texas, in 1989. He served as pastor of Trinity Baptist in San Antonio from 2001 until resigning recently.
