Every patch tells a story, and together they paint a beautiful picture of Eva’s journey through the years 💛
Though Eva and her family have only been with our church for a year, they have already become such a treasured part of our church family. As the oldest daughter of Pastor Rusty and Elisabeth Johnston, Eva has shown what it means to lead with heart, serve with joy, and stay committed to something meaningful.
One of Eva’s greatest accomplishments has been earning the Stars & Stripes Award through American Heritage Girls—the highest and most prestigious honor in the organization. This award is not simply given; it is earned through years of dedication, leadership, service, faith, hard work, and perseverance. Only girls who truly demonstrate commitment to God, family, community, and country achieve this level, making it an incredible milestone to celebrate.
Her completed OCTO-SWING project at Elkhorn Valley Youth Camp in Bergholz, Ohio is just one example of the servant heart and leadership that helped her earn this distinguished award—something that will bless campers, families, and volunteers for years to come.
Every patch represents effort. Every step shows perseverance. And every moment reflects a young woman growing into who God has called her to be.
Eva is graduating high school from Wesleyan Heritage Classical School 🎓 and will be pursuing enrollment at Sight & Sound Conservatory in Pennsylvania with a major in Theater.
Eva, we are so proud of you. Your church family is cheering you on—today and in all the exciting steps ahead! 🙌
