Jim was recently asked what would his dream job be and he didn’t even have to think about it. He told them he has the perfect job, being the chaplain here at Park Regency.

Prior to becoming the chaplain here at Park Regency, Jim has worked as a stationary equipment technician, aircraft mechanic, weather observer and forecaster, diesel engine instructor, investment broker/financial planner, car and equipment rental manager, radio station operations manager, and in retail sales.
As a part of his duties here, Jim helps out at the front desk, conducts worship services at 10am on Sundays in the Activity Room, a large group Bible study at 1:15pm on Tuesdays in the Theater, and a private, in-depth study on Wednesdays at 1:30pm in the Chaplain’s Office (room 239).
