Meet our Director
Monica N. Johnson

I’ve had an amazing journey called life that has gotten me to this point.

Like most of you, I have many roles and wear a variety of hats. Daughter, Wife, Mother, Stepmother, Grandmother, Friend, Confidante, Producer, Director, Writer, Editor, Consultant, Counselor, and Pastor.

Professionally, I am an Emmy nominated broadcast veteran with experience gained through PBS, independent, and network-affiliated television stations.  The broadcast environment has enabled me to develop programs for local, regional, national, and international distribution.  Years of television station operations bring a breadth of skill in broadcast management and sales, programming negotiation and acquisition, human resource compliance, and governmental regulatory affairs.  I worked on the hourly side of the desk, the management side of the desk. Now, the consultant side of the desk.

Educationally, the words Evolve, Emerge, Explore, Expand are my guides which have led me to my most recent journey; the pursuit of a Master’s degree in Legal Studies from Washington University in St. Louis School of Law which was completed in December 2017.   I admit my love of learning. I’m in search of a combined Divinity/Counseling PhD or Doctoral program.

Ministerially, I come from a lineage of five-fold ministers.  I have been involved in ministry for as long as I can remember; from choir director, Sunday School teacher, youth department administration, media department, usher board, and any other “helps” in the church as needed.  Presently, I am the Pastor of Kingdom Purpose Worship Center in Saint Louis, Missouri.

Personally, it’s hard to talk about me without talking about my village.  As a child of divorce, a phenomenal group of people supported my mother and maternal grandparents during my upbringing.  I would not be who I am today had it not been for their collective teaching, training, and praying.

I am an Ohio native and an only child.  I am a product of the Akron Public School system and a graduate of The University of Akron.  I am married with children.  I am Monica Nettles Johnson!
