Salt + Light Christian Church

Jim Watson

Senior Pastor

More Info
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 back in a Pastor role to fulfill his core calling as a shepherd. Jim enjoys running, biking, golfing, and just about any sports activity. He also enjoys woodworking, especially when making Christmas yard art (warning: he goes overboard with Christmas decorations!). Jim married to his high school sweetheart, Kristin, in 1986 and they raised three sons in Massachusetts. Their youngest still lives in New England and serves in the Orthodox Church. Their middle son is a leader in their community in Georgia along with his wife and daughter. Jim & Kristin's oldest son went Home to heaven in 2021 and they look forward to seeing him again in eternity.
