Pastor Jim and his wife, Sheryl, co-lead the congregation at New Hope Christian Center and devote their lives to its cultivation. The couple began at New Hope Christian Center in 1980, after Jim graduated from North Central University in Minneapolis, MN. Pastor has a passion for truth and studies biblical prophecy to bring awareness to the Body of Christ for when He returns.  In his free time, Jim enjoys fishing with his grandchildren, hunting with his sons, gardening, watercolor painting, and "cruising with [his] girlfriend."
