Rev. June Johnson
Province IV – Diocese of Georgia
The Reverend June Johnson is a native Georgian, born in Albany and currently living on Tybee Island on the coast from Savannah. A graduate of the University of Georgia and Candler School of Theology at Emory University, she was ordained a priest in 2009. Married to Kent Failing, they will celebrate their 32nd wedding anniversary in May.
June has served three churches in the Diocese of Georgia: St. John’s in Bainbridge, Holy Nativity on St. Simons Island and now serves All Saints on Tybee Island (her home church). She says that these are the three best churches in the Diocese and is so blessed to have served in each.
In addition to her parish work, she serves as a Trainer for LWG, a member of RJGA (Racial Justice Georgia) and is currently the Chaplain for the Diocesan DOK. She devotes time to the Tybee MLK Human Rights Organization, Forever Tybee (a group working for transparency in city government) and the Ethics Commission for the City of Tybee.
She is active in the Tybee Island Ministers Association. This year Tybee is returning to its traditional Easter Sunrise Service on the Pier – Hallelujah!
