In 1996, Pastor Johnnie Wilson and his wife, Jamee, moved to Orlando from Kansas City, Missouri, to accept the Youth Pastor position at Faith Assembly. They birthed the ministry “Mainstream Orlando,” and that ministry grew to over 1,500 students and young adults weekly. In 2018, Pastor Johnnie transitioned into the role of Executive Pastor, serving under the leadership of Pastor Carl Stephens.

After 25 faithful years of ministry at Faith Assembly, Pastor Johnnie was elected by a unanimous vote to serve as the Lead Pastor at Faith Assembly.

Pastor Johnnie and Jamee have been married since 1991 and are blessed with five adult children, Isaac, Sydney, Noah, Jonah, Ashton, and two Bernese mountain dogs, Blu and KC. The entire family shares a love of the Kansas City Chiefs and Diet Coke. You can connect with Pastor Johnnie on Instagram (@pastorjohnnie) and Facebook.

Faith Christian Academy opened in 1979 as a ministry of Faith Assembly of God. Pastor Carl Stephens, an advocate of Christian education, has faithfully supported the academy from its inception. Under the leadership of administrators Mrs. Margaret Hunt, Dr. Charles Smith, and Dr. Andrew Rumbaugh, FCA has become a reputable, college prep school with an enrollment of 680 students. In 2012, the church and academy moved to new facilities at 9307 Curry Ford Road. The academy has grown from an initial graduating class of 8 students to regularly graduating more than 50 students per year.

Faith Christian Academy and Faith Christian Preschool together serve more than 850 students. Students experience weekly chapel services held by the leadership teams at Faith Assembly with an integrated approach to ministry unlike other Christian schools across the country. Living a spirit-filled life is one of the deepest priorities at the academy. Students live fuller, richer lives when they have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
