Lighting the Way "Open Hearts, Open Minds, and Open Doors"


 Meet Jim Summers 

 Associate Pastor

What I do at Messiah:
I preach, teach, serve, visit, administer and coordinate ministries and activities for adult ministries and spiritual formation. This includes adult Sunday school, Bible Study and small groups. I also serve as the pastoral liaison to “The Celebration” our contemporary worship team.

My God story:
At the very heart of my relationship with God is a profound sense of God’s unconditional love. It is this understanding that helps me understand that all the many ways that God has blessed and gifted me are really God’s to use. I was able to hear my call to ordained ministry because of this understanding and the support of my church family.

My education:
Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration, Franklin University (1990) Master of Divinity, The Methodist Theological School in Ohio (2000)

My family:
Maggie (spouse), Grayson (son), Kathryn (daughter), William (son)

My hobbies:
Reading historical novels, gardening, walking
