And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was." ~ John 17:1-5

And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol."

Our passionate desire is to see others grow closer to Jesus.

Jim sees this through the effectual preaching and teaching of God's Word - impressing upon others their need to be born-again and having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and also encouraging fellow believers in their daily walk with the Lord.

He is interested in serving churches in need of pastoral leadership or coming into individual homes for small group worship and/or Bible study. He also is available to provide communion and officiate at funerals and weddings.

His wife, Cathy, is a journalist and has been writing devotional poetry since 2006. She is working on a resource book titled "Many stones, One Rock."

Both of us enjoy photography, and Cathy likes to use Scripture and her poetry to make Scripture photo cards and bookmarks.

We enjoy visiting others in Eastern Iowa, reading Scripture and sharing prayers.

Jim accepted Christ as His Savior on Dec. 5, 1971. Cathy accepted Christ as Her Savior on Aug. 29, 1982.

Our home church is Immanuel Baptist Church in Cedar Rapids.

We are currently serving Lincoln Street Baptist Church in Mount Pleasant.

Glorify GOD Ministries is the name we chose for our ministry. We created a website in December 2016 and soon after, a Facebook page. We travel within a 75-mile radius of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to minister to churches in transition, as well as individuals.
