Johnny Johnson

B.R. (Johnny) Johnson, age 83 of Oneida, TN passed from this life on February 11, 2021.  He was surrounded by his wife and children.  He will be remembered by his family as a loving man of God, a great teacher, and for always whistling the praises of God.  Whenever he went missing while shopping with the family, we would just follow the melody to find him. 

Pastor B.R. (Johnny) Johnson was a loving and caring husband, father, grandfather and pastor.  His love for the word of God was known by anyone he came in contact with.   He could quote scripture chapter and verse.  He believed God had the answer to any question you may have. Serving God was his life.  He made a commitment to serve God when he left the Army and never turned back.  He founded and pastored The Anointed Church of the Living God in Cincinnati for four years.  He came to Oneida TN in 1971 and pastored in several locations before building and establishing a church on Letner Rd. (The Anointed Church of the Living God).  There he preached and taught the word.  Many souls traveled through the church that have been trained to become great leaders. Pastor Johnson always wanted the children to be taught about the love of God and that was included in his mission statement.
