Leadership
The people called to care for and steward this church
Our minister and our shepherds would love to walk with you.
Preaching Minister
Kyle Johnson
Kyle began serving as Lafayette's preaching minister on Easter Sunday 2021, after previously serving as the neighborhood interaction minister from July 2016--March 2021 and as an intern in 2015. He was a "military brat" throughout his childhood, so he now calls St. Louis and Lafayette home after these 10+ years. Kyle received his Bachelor in Bible & Preaching from Harding University in 2016 and his Master of Divinity from Abilene Christian University in 2020.
Kyle and Laci have been married since May 2016 and are currently raising Bradford (3) and Chapman (1) with another on the way. Outside of church life, Kyle enjoys reading novels, cooking Aldi meals, jogging, light roast coffee, and the 11-time champion St. Louis Cardinals.
Before you visit
Want to meet first?
The Johnsons have a heart for welcoming new families and individuals to the St. Louis community and/or to Lafayette specifically. If you would like to grab a meal or a coffee with Kyle, even before visiting, do not hesitate to reach out.
Shepherds / Elders
Our Shepherds
Shepherds are the men who oversee and care for the flock.
