Jim is excited about joining the beautiful people of Albany First Methodist Church. He is an ordained elder and a graduate of Columbus State University and Asbury Theological Seminary. Jim is married to Amanda, his high school sweetheart. They bonded over their love for the Lord, playing music together, and laughing (a lot!). Together, they have three wonderful children. Jim is passionate about reaching out to the community, guiding people to mature faith in Christ, drinking lots of coffee, and other "nerd" stuff.
