Meet Gregg Johnson

As the former National Youth Director of the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, Gregg Johnson directed a network of youth leaders, pastors and workers throughout North America. A gifted speaker, writer, musician and motivator; Gregg is now at the center point of a bold vision for an emerging generation of young people around the world within the Body of Christ. “It’s God’s vision for our young people,” Gregg has said, “I’m simply serving His vision.”

Throughout his years as National Director, Foursquare Youth experienced explosive growth, as culminated at “Summit 94”, a National Foursquare Youth Convention in which over 10,000 young people attended the largest three-day gathering of youth in the history of the denomination.

When Gregg was 14 years of age, he responded to the call God placed on his life to touch the youth of a nation. Gregg recalls his decision at that moment to not only do “something” for God, but to make himself available to do “anything” for God!

In his late teens, Gregg served as Junior and Senior Youth Pastor at Central Tabernacle in Edmonton, Alberta Canada, while he attended Northwest Bible College. Later, Gregg traveled with Living Sound, a musical evangelistic ministry that impacted 22 countries. Returning to the United States, Gregg became Senior Youth Pastor for the Portland Foursquare Church in Oregon. After nearly five years of ministry in Portland, Gregg received the invitation from the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel to assume the position of the National Youth Director. His move to Los Angeles enabled him to complete his degree at LIFE Bible College in 1988.

In January 1995, Gregg resigned as the National Youth Director in order to launch a ministry to the movement makers of the world. Gregg continues to travel internationally ministering in conferences, camps, seminars and churches all over the United States, Canada, Eastern and Western Europe, Asia and Australia. As Gregg says, “In every generation, God is looking for more than a meeting; He is looking for a movement!”

In 2000, Gregg married Jessica and together they have launched a new ministry to the “tweeners” of society (those between the ages of 8 to 12). With a passion to “reach a generation before they need to be rescued.” Gregg and Jessica travel throughout the United States and Canada hosting J12 Encounters for parents and their 8- to 12-year-olds. Jesus at the age of 12 spoke seven words that became the passion of His future, “I must be about My Father’s business.” Gregg and Jessica believe those same seven words can become the passion of a young generation today.
