As worship leaders and speakers, Russell and Kristi combine passion and energy. This incredible couple has dedicated their lives to giving glory to God through their music & ministry. Their inspirational music touches the lives of those around them so intimately that it stirs souls and moves hearts closer to God. Russell and Kristi lift up His name in every note they sing.

The Johnsons will lead the morning worship service at 11am on Sunday at FBC in La Follette. In the 6pm evening service, they’ll perform in concert.

Originally from Conway, SC, Russell and Kristi have been musicians all their lives and in ministry together for more than 20 years.
