Johnson has been pastoring for 25+ years in a variety of ministry contexts, including inner-city, suburban, rural, college-towns, college campus ministry, cross-cultural, cross-racial, a church startup, assisted-living facilities, large churches, and a mega-church.  Having to preach the Jesus-story in such a wide variety of mission-fields has given him a sharp, clear, and transcendent grasp of the Jesus who reigns above personal agendas, partisan politics, and public opinion.  Telling the world about this Jesus has become a core pillar of his life-mission. 



Robert was born and raised in Columbia, MS, and lived in Houston, TX for 27 years before taking an appointment, in 2016, to serve as the lead pastor of Saint Mark United Methodist Church of Wichita, KS, a flagship church of the denomination. 



Robert serves on the boards of Kansas Interfaith Action, a public policy advocacy organization; Humankind Ministries, a non-profit focused on housing for the homeless; and the Boys & Girls Club of Wichita.  He also serves on the advisory board of the College of Health Professions of Wichita State University.  He is a co-founder of Nehemiah Village, Inc., a faith-based housing development for formerly incarcerated men. 

Robert has a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Southern Mississippi, and a M.Div from Perkins School of Theology/Southern Methodist University.  He is married to Linda Johnson, a senior financial manager.  He and Linda have 2 daughters: Giselle, 26, and Kayla 22.  Giselle, a Howard University graduate, is a creative executive with Sony Entertainment.  Kayla is a soon-to-be education-major graduate of Spelman College.”
 


 

Robert's first book, Jesus Unchained, is due to be released on April 19, 2022, and can be pre-ordered, now, at inviteresources.com
