Darius and Cindy Johnston have spent over 40 years in pastoral ministry. They served for over 36 as lead pastors of Movement City Church in Fort Worth, Texas. In August of 2022 God directed them to step down as the lead pastors to commit themselves to working with churches, pastors, and ministry leaders as a coach and consultant. God has used them in speaking to the body of Christ as well as leading local churches through times of pastoral transition.

In addition to her ministry responsibilities Cindy is a regular co-host on “Joni’s Table Talk”—a daily TV program on Daystar Christian Television—the largest Christian television network in the world.

Darius serves as a Regional Executive Presbyter with the North Texas District of the Assemblies of God. He also serves on a variety of boards and missionary organizations.

Darius and Cindy love spending time with their two sons, two daughters-in-love, and four grandchildren. Darius also enjoys golf, working out, and reading. Cindy loves to cook, play the piano, and encourage pastor’s wives.
