Jim became a Christian in 1971 when he was serving in the army. After leaving the army he has worked as a manager and a self employed consultant in the structural steel industry.

He was employed by NKCC in 1992 as a youth and children’s pastor and then as an elder in 1994.

Jim has overseen our own children’s work and children's work at regional and national events. He has taught children’s leaders in local churches in France and the UK and also at larger children’s leader conferences.

He now is focusing his attention on fulfilling his eldership responsibilities at NKCC, in particular overseeing a team whose aim is to encourage and enhance the pastoral life of the church by helping people to achieve all their God given potential.

This aim obviously also applies to our youth and children so he continues to have responsibility in that area.

Jim is a widower who has 3 children and 10 grandchildren. He enjoys playing golf, watching rugby and spending time with his family.
