Johnson resumes duties at Christ the King

Father Mark Johnson

of Sharpsburg recently resumed his priestly duties at

Christ the King Church in Peachtree City. For the past

year, Johnson has served, at the appointment of the

Bishop of Georgia, as the Vicar of Church of the Good

Shepherd in Milledgeville. Before his arrival, the small

missions congregation was meeting Sunday afternoons in

the dining room of a private residence. Under Johnson's

leadership, the congregation acquired facilities in

downtown Milledgeville, renovated the facilities and

moved the services to Sunday mornings. He also initiated

mid-week Bible studies at the church.

"Fr.

Johnson did more than we asked him to do in

Milledgeville," said the Right Rev. John W.

Holloway, Bishop of Ga. "We're very pleased with the

work he did among the members of this middle Georgia

congregation."

Christ the

King Rector Fr. David Epps said, "Mark has been a

great example for us all. Not only did he do a tremendous

work at Church of the Good Shepherd, he was also

continuing to perform duties at Christ the King. Our

folks are thrilled to have him back on a full-time

basis."

Johnson, A

graduate of Lee University, is completing work for the

Master of Ministry degree at St. Michael's Seminary and

is expected to graduate later this year. He was an

ordained minister for ten years in the Assemblies of God

prior to being ordained to the priesthood. He also serves

as a chaplain for the Peachtree City police Department.

Johnson and

his wife, Natalie, have three children.
