Jim Hunter
Spiritual Advisor
Jim is a Nevada transplant from Georgia. Christian religion is what he knew until in college, during March 1994, life hit rock bottom. Jesus changed his life and began a relationship with Jim. It seemed that working "for God" was the next step, so he began a 21 year journey as a Student Pastor.
Jim, his wife of 24 years (Amy), and their 3 children moved to Nevada in June of 2015 to be the Teaching Pastor for Faith Ministry, North Valleys. He also serves as a Chaplain with the Washoe County Sheriff's Office Peer Support Team.
Reno is God's place for Jim. The Hunters enjoy the Great Basin area but most of all the opportunity to share Jesus in the West! Jim likes college basketball, being outdoors, reading, and traveling.
