James knew at an early age that he would become a minister. He had been involved with three non-denominational churches in Indiana, and has been the Spiritual Leader at Unity Church of Greenville since 2004. Under his leadership, the church has acquired 13.5 acres and built a new church home.

Music—writing and playing—is a passion for James. He is the author of the book Dancing with the Universe: Lessons in Synchronicity. He and his wife Leah have been married for 30 years, and Leah serves the church with equal purpose and joy. They have 3 sons: Matthew, Luke, and Christopher.

James is currently serving on the Board of Directors for the Greenville Interfaith Forum and as President of the Board of Directors for Unity Ministers of the Mid-Atlantic States (UMMAS).  UMMAS hosts a retreat each year in September in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina. Visit their website for more information on the retreat.

James is available for weddings, spiritual counseling, christenings, and memorial services. Contact him through the church office at 864-292-6499 for an appointment.
