It is rare to find someone like my friend and colleague, Jim Baker, who has proven expertise in all the organizational aspects of church ministry [staff development, ministry programming, administration, finances, fund raising, multi-sites, etc.] as well as leading and excelling at the greater work of ministry – shaping all of this for the making of mature disciples of Jesus. Jim is a cutting edge explorer of what it means for churches and their leaders to be missionally transformational while developing best practices organizationally. And on top of all that – he embodies it!

I consider Jim Baker to be a stand out sage in our Executive Pastor Mega Church Best Practices Forum. Each year I am blessed by a man with a Pastor’s Heart, a Business Man’s Head and a Servant’s Hands. Every time I am with Jim I feel like I have learned from one of the best and most well balanced Executive Pastors in the nation.

Jim is a rare left and right brain thinker that serves excellently from the highest level vision all the way down to the most detail tactic. Jim knows how to create effective control environments that are practical and light, not bureaucratic. Jim works as unto the Lord and is very comfortable in his own skin, not drawing attention to himself or trying to prove who he is. Two words that personify Jim Baker are, “Humble Servant”.
