  • Rev. Jim McCarthy, Senior Pastor

    Jim McCarthy is a native of Jacksonville, FL who was converted to faith in Jesus Christ at an FCA summer camp in middle school. He felt the call to ministry during his freshman year at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, FL from which he graduated in 2008 with degrees in history and religious studies. He enrolled at Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary in August of 2011 and moved there with his wife and best friend, Jordan, to prepare for a life of gospel ministry. Jim graduated from seminary in 2015 and has enjoyed the privilege of serving as the senior pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Jacksonville, FL (2016-2018) and First Presbyterian Church of Hattiesburg, MS (2018-2023) before being called as the second senior pastor of Trinity Presbyterian Church in Statesboro, GA.

     

    Jim looks forward to carrying on the faithful legacy of his predecessor and Trinity's founding pastor, Rev. Roland Barnes, by preaching Jesus Christ and Him crucified from all of Scripture and shepherding the flock of God together with Trinity's elders and deacons.
