Jim served the congregation in the deacon's office from 1981 until he was called to the ministry of the Gospel in 1986. He was ordained to the Eldership in 1996, and has served as Presiding Elder from 2011 to the present. Jim has also served as Presiding Elder of the Grandview, MO congregation since 2001. Jim's wife, Sally, has been a companion in ministry, parenting and farming the home place where they were privileged to raise their family.
