About

Pastor Karen Johnson

Karen H. Johnson is the founder, President and Pastor/Teacher of the Hebraic/Prophetic ministry and fellowship, Olive Tree Connections. Karen and her family first came to Nashville in 1997 from North Carolina. Shortly thereafter Karen was invited to join the ministry staff of Trinity Music City Church, part of the TBN family located in Hendersonville, TN. For several years, Karen conducted a Hebraic/Prophetic teaching ministry in the conference center on the grounds of TBN. Week after week lives were challenged, impacted, and changed, leaving many listeners with a desire to pursue a deeper walk with God. The impact of Karen’s powerful, life-changing teachings at TBN began to spread and eventually led to the formation of Olive Tree Connections in the year 2000.  Doors for ministry opened in the year 2000 in the Bronx, New York, expanding to Queens, New Rochelle, Long Island and Poughkeepsie, NY.  Karen has ministered in NY for 15 years. 

Karen’s prophetic style of teaching has inspired hosts of people to greater heights: leaders in the church world, marketplace business people, children, teenagers, music industry professionals and even entertainers. Through Karen’s teachings many have begun to discover their personal assignments and callings. The ministry of OTC is multi-faceted in purpose, multi-cultural,and cutting edge in its approach to teaching God’s Word. Weekly, OTC holds two Hebraic based teachings through a Sunday morning worship gathering, a Wednesday evening prophetic praise, worship and discipleship gathering, a Tuesday night intercessory prayer gathering and a Friday morning bible study. (see Event Calendar for Details).  At each meeting, ministers are available for personal/prophetic ministry and healing. 

Karen has appeared on the local TBN Praise the Lord program, the Christian Television Network, God’s Learning Channel, several Nashville radio stations, and various chapters of Women’s Aglow International. Because of personal tragedy in her own life, Karen has never forgotten the poor, the hungry and the homeless causing her to partner with the Christian Co-Operative Ministry Food Bank and Second Harvest Food Bank. Karen has ministered in such diverse venues as maximum security prisons, coffee shops, Planet Hollywood, the streets from coast to coast, and Trinity Broadcasting Network.

In 1998, Karen began her formal Hebraic studies under the mentorship of world renown scholar Dr. Karl Coke,  Ph.D, founder of The Timothy Program International. Interestingly, Karen’s formal biblical education has always been from the Hebraic perspective.  Karen is ordained and licensed under Restoration Fellowship International and OliveTreeConnections, Inc.  Karen has been a strong supporter of Israel since 1998.  

Karen and Olive Tree Connections have been host to many powerful ministers; Dr. John Looper, Kim Clement, Karl D Coke, Gordon Jensen, Mark White, Tony Kemp, Randy DeMain, Bill Cloud, Paul Cox, Chad Taylor, Bert Crevier, Munday Martin, Charlie Shamp, Joseph Vogels, Sandy Powell, James Goll, Chris Poole, Kimble Knight, Netanel Nickalls/Israeli Minister, Dr. Francis Myles, Katie Souza, John Natale. 

Karen Johnson is a frequent guest minister on the Suzanne Hinn National Prayer Call.

Karen is the mother of three grown children and five grandchildren.  Karen resides with her husband in the greater Nashville area.
