Fern Johnson
Elder, Mother
Elder Fern Johnson is a self-described disciple/servant of the Most High God, born again in 1961. “I’ve been walking with commitment and seeking God diligently since 1981 despite my many ups and downs, testing and trials, failures and successes.”
Elder Johnson has been with Covenant Blessing Fellowship since Sunday morning worship services began in May 2001. “God has graced me to serve with the Covenant Mothers, to teach/facilitate various CBF ministry and small group Bible studies, and to be ordained as a CBF Elder in January 2018. I’m so very grateful to God for allowing me to be in His service.
I’m a mother and grandmother and have a group of great spiritual children and grandchildren. CBF has been a great spiritual family and support network for me. What keeps my spirit and soul grounded and at peace is knowing God through Christ Jesus and knowing that He is FAITHFUL. I am thankful that He has given me everything I need that pertains to life and godliness in Him. I am pressing…
My rock scripture is Hebrews 11:6 : But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
