James moved to Oahu in 2006 from his hometown in Louisville, KY. By God’s merciful and sovereign grace, James was awakened to a sobering sense of his sin and the beauty and worth of Christ in the Spring of 2010.

James is currently a pastor at Kailua Baptist Church and also the Chaplain and Middle/High School Bible teacher at Trinity Christian School in Kailua.

James is married to his lovely wife Latesha. Together they have two children - Jude and Laurel.

Jame sholds a Master of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He has been involved in a variety of ministry roles, including the Baptist Collegiate Ministries at UH Manoa, pastoral internships, and leading in things like worship through song, teaching, preaching, and prayer.
