Leadership

Pastors & Staff

Jim Watson

Senior Pastor

Pastor Jim’s passion is raising up disciples, reaching the community, and shepherding the church to discover who God has made them to be. For the past 25+ years, he has enjoyed serving God and the Church in a variety of ways: pastor of an established traditional church, planter/Pastor of a community church, mentor for a biker church Pastor, and consultant and coach for Pastors. He’s excited to be in a Pastor role to fulfill his core calling as a shepherd. Jim enjoys biking, golfing, woodworking, and decorating for Christmas. He married his high school sweetheart, Kristin, in 1986 and they raised three sons in Massachusetts. Their youngest son, Jacob, and his wife live in New England and he serves in the Orthodox Church. Their middle son, Caleb, is a leader in their community in Georgia and serves at Salt + Light along with his wife and children. Jim & Kristin's oldest son went Home to heaven in 2021 and they look forward to seeing him again in our eternal Home.
