An Evening in honor of Dennis E. Johnson

Celebrating Dr. Johnson’s 37 years of faithful service to the seminary

On Wednesday, May 23, 2018, the Westminster Seminary California community gathered at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido for a dinner program in honor and celebration of Dr. Johnson on the occasion of his retirement as Professor of Practical Theology at WSC. During the program, faculty, trustees, and alumni shared their memories, love and appreciation of Dr. Johnson, one of the founding faculty members of WSC. Dr. Johnson’s teaching career and character have reflected WSC’s dual emphasis on premier scholarship and Christ-like piety. A resolution was prepared, calligraphed, framed, and presented to Dr. Johnson, highlighting his dedication to the seminary as well as his service to Christ, His gospel, and His church. The resolution concludes:

“The faculty extends its thanks for Dr. Johnson’s service to the seminary and prays that his sacrificial labors will continue to produce great fruit in the church of Christ for generations to come and that the Lord will continue to use and bless him and his wife Jane for many years to come in his retirement.”
