Associate Pastor to Students and Singles, TJ Johnson
Since June of 2007, TJ has faithfully been, not only a member of FBCA, but an invested minister to our teens and singles, as well as all those attending FBCA. Having a heart for teens and seeing them own their faith, TJ felt the call to ministry as a teenager and has sought to serve the Lord from that young age.
He and Angela have been married since 2015. They have a deep love and spiritual concern for everyone God brings into their lives. Ministry is not a job but a way of life for this sweet couple.
They have one child: Berlan.

Children’s Ministry Director, Barbara Coleman
This mother of 3 has been a part of the FBCA family for many years. It became apparent that the Lord had great plans for her as we saw her naturally fill the shoes of our Children’s Ministry Director with love and excitement in everything she did. Thankfully, she officially answered the call to staff in October of 2022.
She and her husband Chris are a great team as they minister to the children, the children’s workers, and the families involved in this growing ministry. Their creativity, generosity, and resourcefulness add so much to FBCA.
Together they have three children: Maddy, Ally, and Ben.

Administrative Assistant, LaNelle McGaffigan
The McGaffigans serve the Lord through FBCA in many ways. LaNelle has worked along side many of the ministries of the church since 2005 and has served as Administrative Assistant since 2013. Having been faithful in teaching, singing, and all ministry areas for a number of years, she is a wonderful asset to assisting with administrative duties.
