Robin Johnson
Role: Minister of Elementary Ministries
Educational Background: Early Childhood Education Western Kentucky University | Biblical Studies Charis Bible College
Ministry Focus: My heart is deeply drawn to the intricate dynamics within families, recognizing how each member contributes to the wholeness of the family unit. I am dedicated to supporting and guiding parents as they navigate their roles in today’s ever-evolving society. Understanding that children are the cornerstone of family life, I believe in nurturing them with love, setting healthy boundaries, instilling discipline, and leading by example. I am driven by my deep love for children. My mission is to empower and support parents in nurturing their children according to the Word of God. I am passionately committed to helping families cultivate the next generation, endeavoring to provide young minds with biblical truths and tools to flourish and make meaningful contributions to our future.”
Personal Bio: My affection for children began in my youth, as I became the most sought-after babysitter in our small community. This fondness persisted as I pursued studies in education at the local university. It was further affirmed when I started my own family, deepening my love for children and eventually leading me to establish Robin’s Nest Christian Academy, where I dedicated thirty-one years to developing young minds. Now, I carry that same passion to Linked Up Church Children’s Church. In my leisure time, I cherish spending time with my grandchildren and engaging in a game of tennis.
