Pete Johnson serves as the Church Planting Pastor for Christ of The Hills Church.  Pete grew up in Houston, Texas and married his high school sweetheart, Lori.  They have three adult children who live in Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas.  Pete loves to be outdoors in God’s creation, especially riding his motorcycle or snow skiing.  He and Lori love to watch movies together as they look for stories of redemption and hope in film.  Pete also loves music and just about all forms of art and architecture, as they capture the creative nature of Almighty God.

Pete began his relationship with Christ as a sophomore in high school, while involved in Young Life.  He began his ministry career as a volunteer Young Life leader in Lubbock, Texas where he attended college at Texas Tech University.  Upon graduation, he then served as an Area Director in Oklahoma and Texas.  He served as a Regional Director for Young Life for 18 years while living in Boerne, Texas.  After retiring from a 33-year career with Young Life, Pete and Lori felt the Lord calling him to accept the position as our Pastor in October of 2019.

Pete is known to be a gifted communicator, team builder and shepherd of people as they walk more deeply with Christ on their journey of faith.
