Pastor Carri received consecration as a Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in 2015 from Our Father’s House in Chili WI. In 2015 she was consecrated and received a Master of Arts in Ministry – Children, Youth, and Family from Wesley Seminary (Indiana Wesleyan University) Marion, IN. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Music in 2013 from Asbury University, in Wilmore Kentucky. She has spent her life in service, ministering where God has planted her. She grew up having strong roots in Wesleyan doctrine with her hands to the plow in The Salvation Army.

 

Pastor Carri has a wide range of interests.  Growing up in Battle Creek MI the daughter of a tournament bass fisherman, she developed a great appreciation for fishing, camping, swimming, hiking and just being outside enjoying God's creations.  She also developed a love for photography and had her own studio, Picture Your Heart Studios, for a number of years.

 

Pastor Carri's ministry actually began as a child of 10 playing cornet in the Senior Brass Band of the Salvation Army of Battle Creek, MI.  She continued as a Sunday School Teacher, an Assistant Leader of Junior Soldiers class, joined FOF (Future Officers Fellowship), participated in street evangelism (Open Airs) sharing her faith with any who would listen, gave her first sermon at the age of 16 and became a Corps Assistant (Pastoral Intern) for the Salvation Army Corps in Ludington, MI for an entire Summer at the age of 17.  She learned to preach, developed a Summer Youth Program, and began to learn how to share her faith with more confidence.

 

As an adult, Pastor Carri has always participated in ministry of one kind or another wherever God has planted her.  She believes that as a follower of Christ who loves Jesus, it is her priviledge to do whatever He calls her to do.  She has washed toilets, driven church vans full of kids, washed dishes, just as heartily as she preaches and teaches from a pulpit all in the name of serving Him.

Rev. Jonathan H. Johnson currently serves as an Elder in Pastoral Ministry at Our Father’s House Christian Community Church in Chili WI. In 2015 he received his Certificate of License and Ordination from Our Father’s House. In 2014 he received a Certificate in Christian Apologetics through Biola University in La Mirada California. In 2012 he received his Bachelor’s in Fine Arts from Christian liberal arts school, Asbury University, in Wilmore Kentucky. He serves as a studio artist for Furocious Studios. He was raised and was a full member in the United Methodist Church; in later years he joined the Wesleyan Church and served there for 12 years. He is a lifetime aficionado of John and Charles Wesley and took course credit in Wesleyan doctrine. In college he found inspiration from early revivals and the Holiness Movement sparked by the Wesleys and Sir Francis Asbury. In his time of service in the ministry he has rekindled his appreciation for John Wesley in his study of Wesleyan sermons, liturgy and hymnology.

 

Both Jonathan and Carri are experienced public speakers. Much of Jonathan’s experience comes from service to the community: when he held the position as Volunteer Coordinator for the Salvation Army Corps of Battle Creek Michigan.

They both regularly teach the Bible and speak.
