Recognizing the importance of Christian education, Jim's parents sent him to St. John's Lutheran School in Lannon for his elementary education and to Wisconsin Lutheran High School (WLHS) in Milwaukee for his secondary education. Jim graduated from WLHS in 1977.
From 1977 to 1981, Jim attended Northwestern College in Watertown, WI, where he earned his B.A. degree. While attending Northwestern, Jim met his future wife, Sue, daughter of former African missionaries Pastor Richard and Irene Mueller.
From 1981 to 1985, Jim attended Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary (WLS) in Mequon, WI, where he received his Master of Divinity degree. He spent his vicar* year at St. Matthew Ev. Lutheran Church in Benton Harbor, MI. Jim and Sue married in 1982.
Upon graduation from WLS, Jim received a divine call to serve First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Racine, WI. He was ordained into the public ministry on July 5, 1985, and served First Lutheran for 11 years alongside the Reverend Dr. Nathan Pope.
