Her name on the glass
Kathleen Johnson Study Hall
Every student who enters the hall passes her name. The entry glass carries the Kathleen Johnson dedication in sandblasted lettering, with a matching etched band running the length of the interior glass wall so the honor reads from the second floor landing and from inside the room.
The dedication is intentional. A room set aside for study, teaching and preparation carries the name of someone whose life pointed people toward both learning and faith.

In partnership with The Armour Institute
Academic partnership
Home of The Armour Institute
The Armour Institute partners with our ministry to deliver theological and leadership education, and the Kathleen Johnson Study Hall is its dedicated meeting space. Institute cohorts, faculty sessions and residency weekends are hosted here, alongside our own seminar and symposium calendar.
The partnership pairs the Institute's academic program with a permanent, purpose built room, so students in Maricopa study in the same environment expected of a seminary campus.
Bring your seminar to the study hall
Ministries, institutes and community education partners can reserve the hall for single sessions, cohort terms or multi day symposiums.
