Ministry with College-aged Adults

Please contact our Deacon Associate, Rev. Alan Williams, for information regarding our ministry with college-aged Adults. If your son or daughter is planning to attend Marshall University, please send Rev. Williams your student’s name and campus contact information – we would love to be his or her home away from home. College students at Johnson Memorial are very active in serving at Common Grounds and in the Music Ministry, and we love to love them.

Please free to add your email address to our mailing list to receive more information as well as our monthly newsletter.
