Aaron Johnson  Associate Pastor

Aaron was born in southern California, and lived there most of his growing up years. He studied Church Music and Music Ed at The Master’s College, continuing on to obtain an MM in Choral Conducting at California State University Northridge while carrying out his first ministry position at Placerita Baptist Church in Newhall, CA. He is currently pursuing an M. Div while pastoring here in Prairie Village. He is married to Kimberly Ann, and they have two daughters, Linnea and Natalie.

Grace was born in Decatur , IL during her parents furlough, but lived most of her life in Northeastern Brazil where her parents are currently still missionaries with Brazil Gospel Fellowship Mission. When she was six years old, she and her family attended a conference where Joni Erickson Tada was sharing her testimony. While Joni was speaking the Lord opened her eyes to realize that she was a sinner and needed to be saved. That same evening she repented of her sins and trusted in Jesus as Lord and Savior of her life. She returned to finish her studies, and is thankful to the Lord for leading her to MRBC where she is nourished by the sound doctrine and is excited about the opportunity to serve the body of Christ.

“Not to us, O LORD, not to us, But to Your name give glory Because of Your loving-kindness, because of Your truth. Why should the nations say, ‘Where, now, is their God?’ But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases.” Psalm 115:1-3
