For the past nine years, James has served as a worship leader, speaker, and pastor to students. These platforms have allowed him the opportunity to encourage and challenge students to live lives worthy of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The understanding that eternity could become reality at any moment consistently shapes the message that James presents in both music and teaching. Currently, James serves as the High School Pastor at West Ridge Church in Dallas, GA and resides there with his amazing and beautiful wife, Amber. He is also an SLU alumni!
