Jim2Life Story

I was saved in August of 1979. My subsequent journey into pastoral ministry began only two years later, starting as a co-care group leader alongside the pastor of our small church that would grow to become what Sovereign Grace Church is today. 

I have been happily married to Daryl since 1966. God blessed us with 3 children: Karyn, Laurie, and Jimmy, and we have 9 grandchildren.

I enjoy spending time with my wife, my children, my grandchildren, my friends, my church, my care group, Daryl’s family… and, of course, my Lord.

In my childhood years, like my grandfather who I am named after, I wanted to be a dentist. However, I ended up becoming an engineer, like my dad, before retiring and entering full-time pastoral ministry.

In this season of my life as a retired pastor, I try to keep my focus on finishing well. Some of my favorite “finishing well“ verses are:

1 Corinthians 3:10-15; Philippians 3:12-14; 2 Timothy 4:7-8
