Jim Clayton - Lead Pastor

lead pastor jim clayton franklin indiana

Jim is a born-and-bred Hoosier with a heart for the people of Central Indiana.  He grew up in Evansville and then lived in Indy five years before moving to the Chicago area.  Jim started his own business in 1996; an Internet marketing company. Eventually, he sensed a call to ministry, so he attended Moody Bible Institute, graduating in December, 2007. He also met his wife, Jodi, while living in Illinois. Jim’s passion is to help people in the Franklin area connect with the God who loves them and help them move forward on their spiritual journey one step at a time. He has a down-to-earth teaching style with an emphasis on practical application to daily life. Jim has
served in several ministry positions with two churches
in the last fifteen years.

"We loved what you had to teach us. And the fact that you
were down to earth and straight forward with your teaching,
no beating around the bush."
