| About You |
About You
Hi! My name is Jim, and I have been involved in worship ministry for close to 20 years. I have a Bachelors degree in Bible, Music and Worship Ministry from Johnson University in Knoxville, TN. I just celebrated 10 years of marriage to my wife Nicole, and we have 3 kids under 6 (our first ministry!). My wife and I are also music evangelists, and we love to travel to churches to assist with revivals or conferences. We also have a heart and passion for coming alongside the local church, especially churches who’s worship leaders need a break or a breath. |

About Your Band
As a musician, I am proficient in many styles on Acoustic and Electric Guitar, and Keyboards. I am also very familiar with the additional instruments listed and can hold my own in pretty much any given situation. I’m happy to be in the front driving the ship, or stepping back and sitting in the pocket on the backline. My wife and I also lead worship together. We began singing together in a traveling group before we even began dating, and she is anointed on stage like few people I’ve ever met. If you hire me, here is what you should expect from me: 1) I will arrive on time and prepared, Â 2) I will bring my own equipment and set it up, unless otherwise discussed (I’m happy to use your stuff if it’s easier for you!), and 3) I will be a servant in whichever capacity I am scheduled for, church work and worship music are not a place for divas. |

What Are You Looking For?
I would love to come to your church and help you out of a bind on that Sunday when you just can’t find someone to fill that hole in your band. I would also love the opportunity to come and lead your congregation in worship. If you are the worship leader, you need a break! But you won’t be able to relax if you are worried that your church is not being taken care of. If you bring My wife and I in, you will be in professional competent hands, and you can recharge your batteries to be your best when you return to your congregation. |
