Jim Carpenter

Jim and his wife, Lisa, have been married since 1990 and have three children. Jim is originally from Ohio, while Lisa is a true Georgia belle. Since graduating from Liberty University, Jim has served in corporate America with companies such as Nest Entertainment and Integrity Music. Jim also served in churches leading worship and creative ministries during his business career. Easter 1999 marked a new direction in Jim's life as he left the business world he had been in for 10 years and now serves full-time in the ministry as the founding pastor of Compass. In his spare time, Jim loves to play sports, work out, and coach little league baseball and soccer. Jim's biggest quirk is that he doesn't wear socks during the summer...not even on a Sunday morning!
