A Shepherd For The Journey. . .
Described
as one of Durham's really effective teacher-preachers, Pastor James
Lilly's teaching of God's Word is designed to explain, coax, exhort
and provoke positive life-changes in all who hear him. He
teaches and preaches the Bible so that people will get an understanding
of what God has promised them. It is his ultimate mission
and highest joy to see people receive the promises and blessings
of God and grow to have an intimate relationship with Him through
Jesus Christ. An intense, soft-spoken gentleman, Pastor James
Lilly shepherds the people assigned to him with gentleness and
great loving compassion. He navigates the ministry with clear
vision, direction, fortitude and uncommon leadership skills.
With an excellent education - Associates & Bachelor's
Degree in Business from LaSalle College as well as a Master's Degree
from Duke University Divinity School, a wealth of life experiences,
and a diverse Christian background Pastor Lilly is well-equipped
for the call of God to preach the gospel. In July of 2002,
Pastor Lilly was inducted into the International
Covenant Ministries now known as the Creflo
Dollar Ministerial Assiocation, led
by Dr. Creflo Dollar. Also, Pastor Lilly was recently inducted into
the Manchester Who's Who Executive and
Professional Registry where he was recognized for his excellence
in ministry and leadership.
He grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as an only
child in a Christian home. As a boy, he served the priest in
the Episcopal church his father attended and the pastor in the Methodist
church his mother attended. Through these experiences he began
to develop a love for the presence of God. After serving his
country as a U.S. Marine Corp sergeant, he returned home and got
married. It wasn't until after serving as a deacon in the Baptist
church for four years that he finally accepted his call to preach. After
this total surrender, Pastor Lilly moved his family from Philadelphia
to Durham, North Carolina so he could attend Duke University School
of Divinity. After completing the master's degree program,
Durham became the family's home and place of ministry assignment.
Pastor Lilly has great compassion for seeing
lives restored and rebuilt. He also has a great passion for
raising up Christian leaders. In his many years of ministry
experience, he has observed a leadership vacuum in the church and
in the urban community and is working to help fill that vacuum. He
has effectively trained scores of men and women through a mentoring
and leadership development training program entitled The Master's
Class that he and his wife have established. click
