Jimmy Fenwick

Job Title: Director of Student Ministries

On the SLFUMC staff since: June 2001

Birthday: July 4

My Ministry Calling: My calling was placed on my heart when I was a little boy. I just didn’t know were that calling would take me. God has called me to serve Him and be faithful to Him as I witness and minister to children and students so they may know and love Christ ; seeking Him as their Lord and Savior. This calling has been fulfilled by working in day camps, youth sports, at-risk counseling, teaching high school and serving as the director of Student Ministries. All that I have done in the past had a purpose of it’s own, but it was also preparing me to serve in the ministry I do today.

What I Enjoy about Serving at SLFUMC: Seeing God’s hands at work in the lives of members of all ages.

My Relationship with Christ: I was raised in the church and have always known who God and Jesus was.  I can’t even tell you when I accepted Christ into my heart. I know it was when I was real young. My personal relationship with Jesus Christ continues to grow every day

Interesting or Unusual Facts About Myself: I can talk in strange voices, and make bird sounds.

Favorite Movie of All Time: Identity, White Christmas, Star Wars (all of them).

Favorite Thing to Do on a Saturday: Spend time with my family and grill steaks on the BBQ

Favorite Scripture: Romans 12:9-11

“Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.”
