Meet our pastor
Pastor Johnson Zhong
BRE, M.Div, RP (Qualifying)
Pastor Johnson Zhong serves at Celebration Presbyterian Church Markham, with a heart for pastoral care, outreach, and helping people grow in faith through every season of life.
Johnson holds a Bachelor of Religious Education and a Master of Divinity in Counselling (Clinical Track) from Tyndale University. He is also a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). His education and clinical training have deepened his understanding of how people experience hardship, change, and healing, shaping how he listens, builds relationships, and cares for others in pastoral ministry.
Drawing on his understanding of psychology, including cognitive behavioural and trauma-informed approaches, Johnson seeks to meet people with compassion and sensitivity. His pastoral ministry brings this understanding alongside Scripture, prayer, and Christian community, always pointing toward the hope found in Christ. Pastoral care and clinical psychotherapy remain distinct roles.
Johnson previously worked in the field of addictions and has spent years serving those facing personal struggles, transitions, and questions of faith. He is passionate about creating a welcoming and caring church community where people feel seen, supported, and invited to grow.
Johnson is married to his wife, Pauline, and together they have two children, Emmanuel and Joline. As a family, they enjoy sharing meals, hosting gatherings, and building community with others.
