Jim's Story
Life
August 2006
I'm currently serving as Senior Pastor of the First United Methodist Church of Russell Springs, Kentucky. Have been pastoring at RS for 6+ years and have been in the ministry for 20 years. My wife, Shelia, is the Director of Pharmacy at a small town hospital about 40 minutes from RS. We have two children, a daughter, Kristen, 17, a Senior in High School and a son, Kerry, 14, an 8th grader.
I have enjoyed pastoring in the rural communities of Southern Kentucky. I have been extremely blessed by God in serving on several short-time mission teams which have taken me to Belize, Jamaica, Tenn., Ga., Fla., and recently to VanCleave, Mississippi to do Hurricane Relief Work. I have also be...Expand for more
en very blessed to serve in our church's Celebrate Recovery Ministry (a Christ-centered 12 step program) and in the Prison REC Ministry in the Manchester Federal Prison.
Just weeks after I graduated from UWF, I went on a short-time mission trip to Jamaica. While there, I was radically saved by Jesus and began to sense the call to ministry. In answering the call, I went to Asbury Theological Seminary in Kentucky to get a Master of Divinity and during those 4 years, I was Ordained in the United Methodist Church. Jesus Christ has made a complete difference in my life. If you don't know Him as your personal Lord and Savior, I encourage to read the Gospels--Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and see who He is.
