Steve has spent a lifetime being a creative force in both faith and charity work. As a young adult he started a church in Manhattan that became the spearhead for benevolent work globally and led the organization that opened and pioneered the first two AIDS clinics in Africa. He helped begin and support a hospital in Cambodia that served over one million people for free and was invited to the White House after an inoculation drive he oversaw received national recognition.
Working with non-profits since he was a teenager, Steve Johnson has almost 50 years experience as a leader, fund raiser and change agent in charities both nationally and worldwide. He served as an original board member of the international charity HOPEww, which he still actively supports. He's a sought after speaker, humorist, author, director and actor; he's performed a one man show on every continent except Antarctica and raised thousands of dollars supporting alternative treatments for cancer.
Steve is currently serving as the senior pastor for the
Portland church of Christ where his wife and partner have lived and worked since 2006.
