New Elsinore Pastor Flag Story Leads Romantic Life to Be Told in Pageant
The Life of Don W Johnson, 30, who will become the full time minister of Elsinore Church of Christ Christian tomorrow, is a living example of the fact that religious life can be romantic. Born March 3 1928 in Seaside Memorial Hospital, he graduated Poly High School in 1945, studied at City College, served as a United States Marine, then returned to finish City College in 1950. He entered Pacific Bible Seminary to pursue a fulltime ministry, married Peggy B Childs Aug 1952 at the seminary, preached at First Christian Church that night, and again in 1955 when he baptized his father, W. M. Johnson. He has a musical background, played in a Marine band, and will continue studies at Pacific Bible Seminary while commuting between here and Elsinore as president of Gospel Crusaders who conduct services at various churches.
