Pastor Johnnie Wilson – Bible Based Community Church Centralia

I’d like to nominate my Pastor Johnnie Wilson for a lot of reasons. He brings God’s word every week. He makes sure he looks out for all his members. If you need help, he will be right there to help. Both him and his wife will be there to help anyone that needs it. He has helped me and my parents out several times. Once my electric went off and he helped me to get it back on, another time my parents needed a vehicle because a tree hit their’s and he found one for them. He always tells you how it is no matter if you want to hear it, and it is always something that you need to hear. He makes sure that you use your gifts that God has given you. Want to say thank you to my Pastor, and his wife. Like we say at church the base is the place.

Steve Linton – The Journey Church

We, as a congregation, want to recognize Pastor Steve Linton for his unwavering dedication and genuine love for all of us. What stands out the most about him is that he never sugar coats anything. He preaches with boldness, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide his words, and stays true to the Bible, even when the truth may be difficult to hear. His goal is always to save souls, not to spare feelings. Pastor Steve’s heart for people is immense. He loves and accepts everyone just as they are, without judgment. His kindness, generosity, and approachability make him truly unique. No matter what he’s doing, Pastor Steve is always willing to listen, even when he was ill, he remained available for his people. He would give the shirt off his back or his last dollar to help someone in need, showing the world what it means to love like Jesus. He is not just a smart and funny man; he is a sincere, God-fearing example of how Christians should live. His love for God shines through in every sermon, and his willingness to answer questions outside of Bible study speaks to his commitment to nurturing our faith. We are so thankful for his leadership and for his example of what it means to love like Christ.
