2021 Alumnus of the Year
From his long and fruitful ministry career, Joel Johnson ’80, S’86, senior pastor of Westwood Community Church in Chanhassen, Minnesota, offers these words of advice: “Just make yourself available.” His willingness to be available to God’s call led Johnson to Bethel as an undergraduate, then to Bethel Seminary and a ministry that has included planting Westwood in 1995, leading its expansion, and serving on Bethel’s board of trustees.Past Recipients
