Worship with RK Praise: Russell and Kristi Johnson

As worship leaders and Christian artists, Russell and Kristi combine passion and energy in their contemporary worship music. This incredible couple has dedicated their lives to giving glory to God through their music ministry. Their inspirational music touches the lives of those around them so intimately that it stirs souls and moves hearts closer to God. Russell and Kristi lift up His name in every note and song they sing.

Originally from Conway, SC, Russell and Kristi have been musicians all their lives and in the music industry for more than 20 years. Prior to the couple combining their talents, Kristi sang professionally for family variety shows, including The Carolina Opry. Russell grew up singing at church and also worked in professional theater as an audio engineer. Although Russell and Kristi grew up in the same town, they didn’t begin dating until college at Coastal Carolina University and were married a year later. They have a son, Will, and a daughter, Sidney.

If you've not been to the Labor Day Singles and Leaders Retreat, it's time for you to go! This is an experience that you will remember for a lifetime. It's a time of growing in the Lord and making wonderful friendships with people from all over the country, and sometimes from outside of the country! I know I look forward to it every year! And if you haven't heard Kris and Pastor Freddy teach the word you are missing out. It's not only great preaching and teaching it's also a great time of laughs and fun. Can't wait for you to join us for the Labor Day Retreat in 2023!
