“ I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge—” (1 Corinthians 1:4-5)

Jim Moore : Youth Pastor

Where do you begin a bio? I could start with, I was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska (which is why I am an avid Nebraska Cornhusker fan). Graduated from Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri with a BA in Religious Education with an emphasis in youth ministry in 1993 (wow that makes me sound old)...

Then I moved to Kansas City were I graduated from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary with a Master of Arts in Christian Education in 1999 (hey, that makes me sound kind of smart). And I have been the minister of youth and children here at Fellowship since June of 1999 (do youth pastors really stay at one church for that long?!) I married my wonderful wife, Mandie on October 12, 1996 (which made her Mandie Moore but not that Mandy Moore). We have three amazing sons, Joel, Micah and Caleb (poor mom, she is so outnumbered by all us boys!)

I love youth ministry. My goal is for our students to grow a life long passion for Jesus Christ. I love to read, especially John Piper, Mark Driscoll and Louie Giglio. And I love to ride my bicycle (sing along if you know the song). And I love Christian music, especially Hillsong United, Passion, Fee, Skillet, TFK, Sanctus Real and Falling Up to name a few. So that’s me in a nutshell. I hope I get the privilege to get to know you sometime!
