Hi, I am Pastor Jim.  I grew up in Lancaster County Pennsylvania.  I became a follower of Jesus at the age of six.  I am so excited that God has given me the opportunity to serve with the great people at St. James Church.  I will be married to Amy for 34 years in January.  God has blessed us with 5 children, ranging in age of 32 to 15.  We are also grandparents of 5 great kids.

I have been a pastor for about 35 years and have served churches in North Carolina, Michigan, Maine and Pennsylvania.  I attended Wingate College in Wingate North Carolina where I received a BA in Religious Studies.  I also have graduated from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louiseville Kentucky where I received a Master of Divinity.

I love Jesus and I love His church.  I am thrilled to be a shepherd to His people.  I would love the opportunity to meet you, or answer any questions you may have about following Jesus or our church.  Until we meet in person, God bless you!
