About Us
OliveTreeConnections, Inc. was founded and established in the year 2000, by its President, Karen H. Johnson, as an Hebraic/Prophetic Teaching Ministry. OTC has grown over the years and now hosts a Sunday Morning Gathering/Church, a Discipleship Class, a Dance Team, an Evangelistic Street Ministry and Children's Church ministry.
Karen Johnson and her family first came to Nashville in 1997. Shortly thereafter, Karen was invited to join the ministry staff of Trinity Music City Church in Hendersonville, TN. For several years, Karen conducted a Prophetic School of Ministry in the conference center on the grounds of TBN. Week after week lives were challenged, impacted and changed, leaving most listeners with a desire to pursue a deeper walk with God. Karen's powerful and life-changing teachings are spreading throughout the United States and the world.
Karen's prophetic style of teaching has inspired all types of people to greater heights: leaders in the church world, marketplace business people, music industry professionals and entertainers. Through Karen's teachings many students have begun to discover their personal assignment and calling. 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 presented through our Sunday Gathering and the Discipleship class on Wednesday.
Karen has appeared on the local TBN Praise the Lord program, the Christian Television Network, God's Learning Channel, radio, and at Womens' Aglow. She also ministers and teaches in New York City, as well as many churches and various venues throughout America.
Karen resides with her husband and three children in the greater Nashville area. OliveTreeConnections is an associate ministry of Restoration Fellowship International, a non-denominational worldwide network of ministries and churches committed to rediscovering and restoring the Church to its Biblical heritage. Karen Johnson serves on the Board of OTC, as well as the Simchah International Board, and Garden Gate Ministry.
