Dr. Jim Townsend has a PhD from an evangelical seminary, has authored
fourteen books, has taught at three Christian colleges and seminaries
(including Judson College), and has been a pastor in four different
churches. Three of his books have been translated into the Korean
language. Jim believes that understanding and using the Bible are
indispensable in a person's life. He wrote 50 short biographies that
were published in the MEN OF INTEGRITY BIBLE (Tyndale, 2000). Come and
check out our church if you want to be fed from God's Word and get to

As you may gather from the displayed photos, Jim sometimes performs
plays in church services.  The pictures below are from a four part drama
