I was a volunteer for United Way to allocate various funds for over 26 agencies. I am a string advocate in the Community for the injustice for equality, and had the pleasure to be a part of The Affirmation Action protesting March with the Legendary Jessie Jackson in Washington D.C. to dissolve injustice for hiring people of color and men vs women enacted by Ronald Regan.
I received Christ in 1993 and was baptized in Jesus Name and became a member of the Apostolic Church of Belleville for twenty years, under the leadership of a great man of God Pastor Switzer until the Lord called him home. The Lord Blessed us with another great man of God Pastor George Szabolcsi who became the Pastor to continue to hold the light. During my years at the Apostolic Church of Belleville I was on the Usher Board, Trustee Board and was a Prison Chaplin for seven years. As I began to grow with much prayer and direction from the Lord Jesus, he led me and my wife Sharon T. Johnson to start a ministry with Bro. Clarence Jackson along with his wife the late Virginia Jackson. With God’s grace the Apostolic Christian Center was birthed in 2008, where I was Assistance Pastor for nine years with this great man and woman of God. In 2017 the Lord spoke to me clearly to launch out and the Southwestern Christian Center was birthed where I currently Pastor in Granite City, Illinois.
