Pastor Marcus Mecum

Marcus Mecum is the senior pastor of 7 Hills Church. Since 2007, we have been focused on helping people live a “better life with Christ” in the Greater Cincinnati area and across the world. We know it can be difficult to find a church that the whole family enjoys, so our heart is to be a place where everyone you love feels right at home. 

Marcus and his wife Sara, who actively leads the women of our church, have been married 25 years. They have two daughters, Savannah and Lauren, who they consider to be their greatest blessings in life.

Pastor CJ Johnson

Pastor CJ Johnson is the senior pastor of one of the nation’s fastest-growing churches, Northview, located in Central Indiana, with thirteen campuses across the state. He is married to his lovely wife Kristin of 16 years, and they have four incredible children together. Known for his relevant, candid, and memorable teaching of the Bible, he brings God’s truth and love center stage each week as he preaches to thousands.

With a passion for leadership development and radical generosity, Pastor CJ has recently begun to pour into other senior leaders through the Northview Network in an effort to equip other churches to thrive and significantly impact their communities in life-changing ways. 

Jesus is his message, family is his heart, people are his calling, and hope is his cause. His infectious fervor continues to make him a highly sought-after speaker and leader.
