Youth Pastor

Pastor James and his gorgeous wife, Hannah, love living the adventurous life that comes with following Jesus. You might find James hunting anything that’s allowed, playing sports involving a ball, riding fast things with motors, or just reading a good book while sipping tea. You might find Hannah singing out loud, playing ultimate frisbee, doing creative things, or hanging with friends while sipping coffee. Together, their Passion is influencing young people to become fully devoted disciples of Jesus! James has served as Youth Pastor at Helena First since 2010 and feels blessed to be a part of such an awesome church family.
