Meet Beni Johnson Children, leader of Bethel Church
Eric, Brian and Leah Valenzuela were the three children that Beni and Bill Johnson had together after their marriage. By the time of her death on Wednesday night, the couple may have been married for quite some time.
Brian is the best known of all her children in the Christian community. As he is also a worship pastor, he continued his parents’ musical interests. He also plays contemporary worship music. He is also a co-founder of Bethel Music and serves as its President.
As a solo artist he has also released an album, Love Came Down – Live Aucastic Worship in the Studio.
He also serves as a Senior Worship Pastor at Bethel Church in Redding, California and co-founded WorshipU, an online worship school operated by Bethel Music. He founded WorshipU with Jenn Johnson.
He is also married to Jennifer Louise, with whom he has two adopted daughters and one biological daughter. In mid-2017, the couple adopted Ryder, a second son. The six family members currently reside in Redding, California.
The identities of Beni’s other two children, unlike Brian, have not been released online. It seems that Eric and Leah prefer not to be in the spotlight.
