Kelly and her husband, Dave, along with their 3 children, have been attending Fountain Park Church since the day it opened. “Our family finally found a church “home” where we could grow in our faith in Jesus Christ, continue to learn from God’s Word through Sunday sermons and Small Group, and develop genuine friendships within the church”.
Kelly is very passionate about Missions, and has been since she went on her first mission trip in 2003 to Brazil. It literally changed the course of her life. She has since been on two other mission trips outside the U.S. and looks forward to future trips. In the meantime, there is much to do right here in our area. We can be “missional” each and every day wherever we are ~ there are opportunities all around us, we just need to act upon them.
For the past 4 years, Kelly has worked part time in the FPC office as Office Administrator. Prior to that, she enjoyed being a full time mom to her 3 children. She graduated from Indiana University of PA with a degree in Elementary Education and was born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin.
Joy Johnson and her husband Jeff have been members of Fountain Park Church since the church was meeting in the office building of Seven Fields in 2003. We looked hard for a church to call home after moving to the Cranberry area. Both Jeff & Joy were born in Pennsylvania but after marriage, lived in Oklahoma City, Chicago and Grand Rapids MI. Fountain Park really fit our family’s desire for a contemporary yet biblically based church.
Joy has served in many different areas of ministry at Fountain Park from the session, pastoral nominating committee & deacons to now serving as a part time Office Administrator. Joy strongly believes that for people to belong in a church they have to give of their time & talents & build relationships along the way. That’s what makes a true church family & we are blessed daily by belonging to the family of Fountain Park.
Joy graduated from Clarion State College with a degree in business but after the first four years of marriage has stayed home to raise her three children. She is now enjoying the role of Grandmother to two beautiful granddaughters.
