Leadership

Dr. Timothy Johns

Dr. Timothy Johns is the founder and leader of the Rock International “Tribe”, an international family of churches. He has been a leader, business man, and church planter for over 40 years. His life calling has been to equip men and woman to be disciples of Christ, effective leaders, and catalysts for new church plants. He is an author, speaker, and consultant for churches and businesses. Tim earned his Master’s degree from Fuller Theological

Seminary and a Doctoral degree from Regent University. He has been married to his high school sweetheart for 42 years and is the father of two married children and six grandchildren. Tim and his wife Janet live in Fort Collins, Colorado where they are currently starting the Rock All Nations church family and All Nations College.

Dr. Sam Matthews

Sam and his wife, Kathy, have been pastors of Family of Faith Church since 1983, but he began preaching the gospel at the age of 17.

Sam earned his BA in Bible from Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee, OK, and then went on to complete both his M.Div. and his D.Min. from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

In 1989, Sam had a vision of some property and heard the direction of the Lord to, “Go and buy this property and start a university.” He returned to Shawnee, purchased the land, and

started recruiting individuals to begin Family of Faith Christian University. He has never looked back, but only looks forward to training more laborers and orchestrating a world-wide penetration of the gospel. Space does not allow us to share the incredible journey completed by Sam and Kathy as God prepared them and called them into continuous intercession to “orchestrate a world-wide penetration of the gospel.” Through laid down lives of intercession, through Family of Faith Ministries (Church, Christian School, and University), and through International Christian Leadership Connections (ICLC), they are seeing laborers trained, teams sent, and nations changed!

Sam is also a member of the ICLC Apostolic Company and its regional and national teams. He travels around the world to visit and encourage ICLC churches and leaders. When he is home, you will find him surrounded by (or talking about) his sons, his daughter-in-law, and his four grandchildren.
