Watch a sermon
In this sermon, Pastor Jake Johnson takes a closer look at what it looks like to live a life that God rewards. Our salvation is based on what Jesus did for us on the cross but the rewards we will get in heaven are based on what we do during our time here. In light of eternity our time here is so short. How are you living your life?
At Manna Church, we do three things
Love God
We strive to provide inspiring worship experiences. We call them “experiences” because our goal is to passionately pursue the Presence of God and make much of His glory. Though we are one church that meets in many locations, each of our experiences is designed to meet this goal.
Love Each Other
We believe that the church is more than a building or a weekend experience. The people are the church, and are created to be in relationship. Our church engages in relationship and discipleship through our small group system.
Love the World
We believe that we are called to share God's love with the world. That is why outreach is a very important part of our strategy.
Meet Our Lead Pastor
Jake Johnson is a graduate of the US Naval Academy, where he received a commission as an officer in the United States Marine Corps. Following a combat tour as a platoon commander in Fallujah (Operation Phantom Fury), he and his wife Danielle were stationed at Marine Corps Base Quantico, VA. They have lived in the region since that time and have served the community with passion and diligence. Following his time in the Marine Corps, Jake worked vocationally as a business leader in the defense industry for ten years. He and Danielle also served as lay pastors at a local church where they ministered to dozens of college students and young families in the Fredericksburg/Stafford area. They also served in an oversight capacity as an Elder couple by their local church until 2019, when their pastor suggested they explore planting a church with a partner organization, Manna Church. In June 2020 Jake became a part of the Manna Multiply Pastoral Residency in Fayetteville, NC and since then has been focused on being equipped to plant a life-giving church in the Stafford/Quantico area. In September Jake was ordained as the Lead Pastor of Manna Church Stafford. This expression of Manna Church will be launched in 2022 to serve Marine Corps Base Quantico and its surrounding communities. Jake, Danielle, and their six children (Gabriel, Dinah, Jael, Asher, Uriah, and Ezekiel) love this area and are excited to serve the people of Stafford as they share the love of Christ.
