The call to preach the gospel has marked both Pastor Johnny and Co‑Pastor Roxanna since childhood. As a young man, Johnny was anointed with holy oil during a church service, by the very woman who would later become his mother‑in‑law. Johnny and Roxanna married in 1982 and began their family, and in 2010 they answered God’s call to plant New Life Family Christian Center in Columbus, Ohio. By faith, they started with Bible studies in their home and local library, eventually moving into a traditional church space where Sunday services continue today. Their passion is to reach people with the love and mercy of God and to see every believer grow in Christ‑likeness.
