Lance Johnson Ministries

Relevate Church

Lance Johnson comes by way of a life of struggles having been trapped by the unrelenting grip of alcohol and drug addiction and the desperate life style that comes with it. He brings a fresh word that is woven into the fabric of a life that has known the agony of an empty soul. One early fall day in September of 1990 he had an encounter with the King of Kings that not only changed him but has eternally altered the lives of thousands that now proclaim along with him that “When Jesus sets you free you are completely free”. Pastor Lance now reaches into depths of his experience to deliver a starkly real story of freedom by the power of God. Now he only looks back to encourage those that are lagging behind. He has spent almost a quarter of a century rescuing people from a background of death and ruin and introducing them to a life of prosperity and liberty. Lance has pioneered addiction recovery ministries as well as numerous churches. He has planted bible colleges and overseas mission works, thereby reaching people from every walk of life and social background. He has introduced vast numbers of people to a victorious, overcoming lifestyle. He is currently the founder and Senior Pastor of Relevate Church with two locations in Woodstock GA and Ranger GA. He is also the founder and teacher at Lions Gate Ministry Training Academy.

“Promises without knowing the promiser is only vanity.”

How do people find hope in the darkest times? Bishop Lance Johnson's latest episode of 'Release the Roar' takes listeners on a spiritual journey, challenging the very core of religious beliefs. In a world where many cling to religious rituals, Bishop Lance argues that true fulfilment lies in an intimate relationship with God. He questions the empty rituals that often replace genuine connection, highlighting how knowing about God is not the same as knowing Him personally.

With references to Luke Chapter 18, he draws parallels between two rich men, one trapped by his wealth and the other, Zacchaeus, who seeks a deeper understanding of Jesus. Bishop Lance's message is clear: it's not about following rules or knowing scriptures by heart, but about embracing a personal connection with the divine. His passionate delivery is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever felt lost in the maze of religion.

He doesn't shy away from addressing the tough topics, urging listeners to examine their own lives and the voids that religion alone cannot fill. With a blend of humour and heartfelt conviction, Bishop Lance invites you to consider what it truly means to know God. His words are a call to action for those feeling stuck in religious routines, encouraging a leap towards genuine spiritual intimacy. Are you ready to exchange empty rituals for a life-changing relationship with God?
