Jeremiah Johnson - Elder

I was born and raised in Portland. I grew up with two of my brothers and my sister., attended a private Catholic grade school, then public school, a Pentecostal Bible college in Dallas, and back to Portland where I'm still learning.

I was brought up in Jesus People Church and at 15 Christ arrested my heart with His love, showed me Himself, and a year later, I went to a Foursquare church. Then, at 22, I went to a non-denominational church for 3 and a half years and I have been at The Well since Spring of 2003.

The Lord is to be both glorified and known -- John 17:1-5. You cannot have one without the other. You can't glorify Him if you don't know Him. And if we truly know Him and are possessors, not just professors of Christ, we can't help but glorify Him. He is the sum of all that is beautiful and more precious than all life and breath. God has exalted above all things His name and word -- Psalms 138:2

The church walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of His Spirit multiplied -- Acts 4:31

It is my privilege to help serve our 3D community to help us glorify an know the Lord together in all that we do and to share this unashamedly with those we encounter in life's journey.

Quote

"The goal of theology is the worship of God. The posture of theology is on one's knees, the mode of theology is repentance." ~ Sinclair Ferguson.
