Our Staff
Pastor Gerry Johnson
Pastor Gerry Johnson has been called as our Intentional Interim to provide leadership and to guide us in worship during this time of transition at Our Savior’s. Pastor Gerry is a graduate of Towson University in Towson, MD, earned an MBA from Loyola College in Baltimore, and a MDiv from United Seminary in Gettysburg, PA. He is a Certified Public Accountant. In his 22 years as pastor, he has served congregations in Maryland and Virginia, principally in the Northern Virginia region. As an Intentional Interim, he has been trained and has many resources to bear in directing congregations toward the process of calling a new pastor.
Besides his experience as a pastor, in his first career he worked in finance with a few major banks and Freddie Mac. He has also worked as a financial consultant in the mortgage banking area, with large and small consulting companies. His financial, planning, and consulting experience provide a great background for transitional ministry.
Pastor Gerry is an avid soccer fan, with great interest in Liverpool FC. He also is a Habitat for Humanity’s Volunteer and enjoys being so close to the James and York rivers, and the ocean beaches, of course. He is married to Sandy and has two children and two grandchildren.
Shirley Harrison
OSLC's Office Administrator
Shirley has been our office administrator since 2000, after moving to Williamsburg from Tampa, Florida with her husband, Clay, a retired police officer and renowned poet. Shirley is known for her love of animals (especially sloths!) and for her Christ-centered way of life - both here at OSLC and in the community. She is the week-day face of our congregation and is who you'll see or hear during office hours!
​
We thank Shirley for her many years of service to OSLC in our office, answering phones, creating bulletins and newsletters, and whatever else that is put on her plate!
