During this season, The Free has transitioned to going live every Friday on YouTube @7pm. We also have a Zoom hangout after each service where students can get connected with other youth and leaders. The Free will also host virtual game nights for the youth! To stay up to date, make sure to check out the “Connect” section which has links to our social media and a way to get subscribed to our texting service. Please reach out to us if you have any questions!

Pastor James was born and raised in Northern California in a home with his single mother and two older siblings. He first had an encounter with God while in High school and fully surrendered his life to Christ in 2012. With a heart to preach God’s word, he quit pursuing a career in Physical Therapy and attended William Jessup Bible College. There he received his Bachelor’s Degree in Pastoral Ministry and minored in Bible Theology. Pastor James has been serving and leading in youth ministry for almost 7 years and has a heart to see that generation transformed by the love of God.

Pastor James joined the Staff in June of 2019. He and his wife Chelsey hunger to see God impact youth culture in our city. In January 2020, they welcomed their first son, Apollos James.

It’s our heart to disciple youth to live as servants of God, who love and respect others and build His kingdom. If you would like to make a difference in the life of a student serve in The Free!
