Fully Persuaded about Kingdom Building& Kingdom Living w/Pastor Tacuma Johnson

Pastor Tacuma Johnson is a Messenger. He has accepted God's call to "build the infrastructure for the Kingdom of God." Jesus said, "I AM the vine and you are the branches." As you know, vines have to grow along another structure--unlike a tree they are not strong enough to stand upright on their own. In the same way, our lives grow along the educational, economic, familial, and religious institutions around us. In this season, Pastor Johnson believes that God wants us to rely less on the institutions of this world, and build infrastructure to support Kingdom Living.

Pastor Tacuma Johnson, is a native of Winston-Salem, NC. He earned an undergraduate degree at Morehouse College in History . After his 1995 graduation, he returned to North Carolina where he gained business management, sales, and finance experience in the real estate business. However, during this time, he discerned the call of God to Christian ministry. He served as Young Adult Minister then Assistant Pastor for several years. Responding more decisively to his calling, he returned to school and in 2003, earned a Masters of Divinity at Wake Forest Divinity School. He also completed a chaplain residency program at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, and interned a homeless shelter and street ministry as well as Hospice. Pastor Johnson was called to Greater First United Baptist Church in 2008, and served as its Senior Pastor through the Fall of 2014.
