Pastor Jim Deters
It has been my great pleasure to serve the Ashland church and community as Pastor since 2016. There is a story going around, and it’s true, that I was interviewing with several churches when I came to Ashland. We were drawn to this church by its emphasis on music, mission and young people. When we toured the church, we heard the story about the youth room and how its kitchen was created. I felt called right then and there. I believe the word church is an active word. We worship, serve and grow in faith together. The together part is important, too. Community has been a defining part of church for as long as we have had relationship with God. This church is home to people on the full spectrum of politics. I treasure that, too. My hope is that we live into the words, “wherever you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here”. God’s Blessings to you.
