Associate Pastor for Music Ministry

In the summer of 2018, God brought Bro. Johnny Coggin to our church to minister to us through music.  Johnny is known in the Mid-South for his love for Jesus and musical ability.  Raised in South Alabama, Bro. Johnny grew up in the church and at the age of 16 surrendered to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Two years later, at the age of 18 he surrendered to God's call on his life into the ministry.  

Bro. Johnny graduated with a Music degree from the University of South Alabama and has a Master of Christian Education from Mid America Baptist Theological Seminary.  For nearly 50 years, Bro. Johnny and his wife, Linda, have faithfully served the Lord side by side in music ministry.  Together they have two sons, two daughters, and ten grandchildren who are all serving the Lord in their churches.

In his free time Bro. Johnny and his wife enjoy reading, streaming British TV, spending time with their children and grandchildren, and cheering for the Alabama Crimson Tide!
