After thirty years of pouring his life into the people of Cairo, Grady County, and the surrounding areas, Pastor Johnny has led a thriving and growing congregation in what many would consider an unlikely place. Pastor Johnny is married to his wife, Dianne, his true partner in ministry for over thirty-five years. He is also grateful for his three children - Joshua, Jonathan, and Anna - and their families serving in ministry alongside him.

Over the years, Pastor Johnny has discovered that the reason most small-town churches never grow is because small-town pastors aren't sure what to do. That is why he began HomeGrown Pastor, a consulting and development group for small-town pastors, churches, and ministry organizations.
