Senior Minister

Minister Jonathan Johnson has served the Chicago faith community for over ten years, bringing a steady commitment to both spiritual leadership and social service. He began preaching in June 2014 and has since dedicated his ministry to uplifting congregations and neighborhoods across the city.

Alongside his preaching ministry, he spent ten years in social services, working directly with community members on Chicago's west side who struggle with mental illness — a role that shaped his pastoral approach and deepened his commitment to holistic community care.

His ministerial journey includes five years as a youth minister across two congregations, including one in the Chicagoland area, followed by six years as an assistant minister serving two congregations in the Austin and West Garfield Park communities. Through these roles, he built a reputation for compassionate leadership and steady presence within the communities he served.

On June 14, 2026, Minister Johnson accepted the role of Senior Minister at Maypole Avenue Church of Christ. He now moves forward with renewed purpose and energy, leading the congregation in the West Garfield Park area as it continues to grow in faith and community impact.
