Our Pastor: Pastor Jim's latest

In 1997, Pastor Jim moved to New York City to start The New Version Church. Jim comes to us from California where he was a wayward soul searching for some meaning in his life. After experiencing an encounter with Christ one night while in a dreamstate he was suddeny awakened by a trememdous earthquake, one of which was big enough to shake his entire house breaking out several windows. He considered it an epiphany and from that time forward was changed. He came to New York to spread the Word of God.

1,500 sermons, and 2 church members later, Pastor Jim is still going strong as New Version's senior pastor located at 34 W. 23rd street.

He is the author of four books: First You Talk To Jim, And Then You Talk To Jesus; Loving your City When You're From a Small Town (co-authored and set to lyrics with Jason Lewis), Don't Get A New Life, Just get It Resouled; Troubled People in their Twenties (co-author written by Joseph White).

With a daily dose of Bible study, prayer, long talks and laughter with God, and breakfast burritos, Pastor Jim continues to press toward the goal of making it hard to go to Hell from New York City.
