Meet our Lead Pastor
James was born in Laguardia, NY but has spent most of his life in the South. He and his wife, Jessie, have been married since 2014 and now have a baby girl, Jemma. He gained his Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Auburn University of Montgomery and then his Master’s of Divinity with a Worship Specialization at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary while serving the local church in Student and Worship roles throughout Alabama and Georgia. In Spring of 2023, God began to stir James and Jessie’s hearts to plant a new church in North Augusta, SC out of a desire to reach their community. After months of prayer and seeking counsel from other church planters and mentors, it became clear this was the next step in the Lord’s plans for their lives.
