Bishop Eugene S. Johnson prefers to be appreciated as a
holiness preacher and pastor who was reared in the firmness and fever of
"the old time way." He is a progressive minister, who maintains a
godly compassion for souls and holds fast to the precepts of the Apostolic
faith and cherishes the dynamic power of the gospel.
In 1983, Bishop Johnson co-founded
with his wife, Sis. Carolyn Johnson, Madison Pentecostal Assembly of Madison,
Wisconsin. He shares that his relationship with his wife and companion of over
33 years has had the most profound impact upon him.
Bishop Johnson was saved at the age
of 14 and credits his three outstanding and God-fearing pastors for helping to
shape his life and ministry. He served faithfully under the late Bishop Gary
Hunt of Greater Apostolic Faith Temple of Memphis, TN (1961-69 and 1976-83),
District Elder Leroy Chappelle of the Church of Jesus Christ in Los Angeles, CA
(1969-74), and the late District Elder Clem Humphrey of Grace Apostolic Church
in Washington, D.C. (1974-76).
Bishop Johnson has been very active
within the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, working at the local state,
regional and national levels for the International Pentecostal Young People's
Union, the International Christian Education Association and the Foreign
Missions Board.
By God's grace, Madison Pentecostal
Assembly has become well known locally as one of the City of Madison's most
vibrant, culturally diverse, and spirited churches, and yet the city itself is
not regarded as being a fertile and nurturing environment for successfully
planting an Apostolic church. Buttressed by an energetic and enthusiatic staff
of ministers and a solid church administration, Bishop Johnson is enabled to
maintain a ranking position in state government as Director of the Bureau of
Equity and Environmental Services with the Wisconsin Department of
Transportation. He rejoices in the Lord for his family, which also consists of
four children and six grandchildren.
Bishop Johnson was called into the
ministry while in Washington, D.C. and ordained an elder in 1983 and a district
elder in 1996. He was elevated as Bishop in 2005. He was graduated from
LeMoyne-wen College in Memphis with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Economics and
UCLA Graduate School of Management with a Masters of Science degree in Urban
Land Economics.
