"Born and raised in Seattle, I have always felt that God has something special for me to do in the Northwest. I never imagined it would look like planting a church.
I spent the first part of my adult-life working in politics, but God had other plans. In the summer of 2014, my wife Marija and I stepped out in faith to start The Pursuit.
We’ve made a decision to live intentionally passionate lives, pursuing the presence of God. Our church started in a barn with no indoor plumbing, no heat, and broken windows. But God was up to something. He has used the faith of a few young adults with a dream to confound the wise.
Over the last decade, we have seen God move in miraculous ways. Time and time again, as we have stepped out in faith, God has provided. Pursuit now hosts weekly services at several campuses, reaching people across the world with the gospel and the message of Jesus Christ.
We would not be here today without the generosity and sacrifice of so many who share our same desire - to see revival sweep our nation. The best days for Pursuit are ahead. More prodigals are coming home, more bodies will be healed, and countless lives will be transformed.
Every day, we feel fortunate just to be a part of this story.
— Russell & Marija Johnson
