Bob Johnson

Senior Pastor

Pastor Bob Johnson grew up in the San Fernando Valley and graduated from the Valley State College (California State Northridge) where he and his baseball team were NCAA college division champions in 1970. Sports and school were the passion and motivation of his life and he was drafted by the California Angels in 1971. In March of 1971 Bob went to see an Athletes In Action game (Campus Crusade for Christ) and that night, after listening to the AIA basketball players share their testimonies, Bob was born into the kingdom of God! The Lord Jesus then became the passion of his life and he entered the Master of Divinity program at Talbot Theological Seminary and was graduated in 1976.

Bob pastored at two other churches before coming to the Oakhurst Evangelical Free Church where he has ministered for over 15 years. During that time the congregation has grown from 50 to nearly 300, moved from rented quarters to a 26,000 square foot facility, and expanded from a staff of one to a staff of five with dynamic Elder, Deacon, and Deaconess boards.

After over 15 years of ministry at OEFC Pastor Bob says, "I still feel like I'm on the honeymoon! The greatest privilege in this entire world is having the opportunity to serve God and to shepherd His people!"

Pastor Bob enjoys life with Sandy, his wife of 35 years. He also loves the outdoors and sports. He lifts weights several times a week, has surfed for the last 45 years, still goes on week long surf safaris, and likes to ride his Grizzly quad with son-in-law Phil. Life is full and eternal for this man who loves and serves Jesus!
