Jim’s primary role is leading a team of people in telling others the good news about Jesus and leading people in worship. His passion is growing the church in 3 dimensions. Up – growing relationships with God; In – growing relationships with each other; Out – growing the church.

Jim made a decision to follow Jesus aged 8. As an older teenager he drifted away from church but returned to a strong personal faith whilst living and teaching in Scarborough. He trained for ordination in Nottingham before ministering in churches in Blackpool and Tamworth prior to coming to Walsall.

Jim enjoys watching sports (his playing days are over) and spending time with his wife, Priscilla, and their children. His guilty pleasure is watching “end of the world” themed films and eating pasta.
