Director of Kids & Students Ministries

Jim has been attending Calvary since 1997. He and his wife Kim are thankful that their 7 children have been impacted by the ministries here. While involved with his career as a builder/remodeler, God drew his heart to serve in kids ministry and he was discipled and trained by the leadership of Calvary. As his faith, knowledge and love of ministry grew, this eventually led to a role on our staff as Director of Kids Life. He was later asked to take that same structure and relational style of ministry, that helped grow our Kids Life program, into our Student Life ministry. Jim is amazed to see how God has grown him over the years and how God uses even the skills from his past profession to help build and grow Calvary’s body and impact those around us. Currently, Jim pastors Kids Life, Student Life, and their families, and oversees adult ministries including Deacons and Deaconesses.
