In April of 2006 James was called to be the Lead Pastor of Journey Christian Church (Est. 1995) in Midlothian (Richmond), VA. Journey is a growing community of faith whose mission is to invite and lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Journey has twice been named as one of America's 100 fastest growing churches by Outreach Magazine. It is James’ privilege to lead such a dynamic group of people in making a positive and transforming impact throughout RVA. Journey is a “come as you are” church where people are genuinely excited about their connection to Jesus Christ.My leadership focuses on inviting and leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and creating an environment where people with little church background can explore faith. It is a privilege to focus my communication on Biblical truth that is helpful and relevant to daily life.
