About Us

Although born in New Jersey and reared in Utah, Joe would like to consider himself a naturalized citizen of the South. Joe spent his undergraduate years in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley at the Virginia Military Institute where he made a vain attempt at becoming a Mechanical Engineer, only to emerge four years later as an English major with a love of reading. After spending 12 years in the US Marine Corps, Joe was called to gospel ministry and resigned his officer commission in 2008. While pursuing a seminary degree at Reformed Theological Seminary, Joe served as the Director of Youth Ministries at Northpointe Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Meridian, MS. Joe also served as the Pastor of Woodland Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Hattiesburg, MS from 2012 until 2018. During seminary and his first pastorate, Joe had the privilege of serving his country as a reserve flight instructor for the US Navy.

Joe is married to Elizabeth Lassiter of South Carolina, whom he met on a wonderfully providential blind date at the Marine Corps birthday ball! Joe and Elizabeth have been blessed with five children: Joseph, John-Mark, Nathan, Susie and Silas. When he's not engaged in the glorious work of the church, Joe loves spending time on the emerald green beaches of the Florida Gulf-coast, camping with his family, taking photographs, and enjoying the Beautiful Game (soccer).

Pastor Roberts grew up just outside Detroit, Michigan in the city of Livonia. He was one of seven children. In 1974, at the age of 16, he became a believer in Jesus Christ while on a 3-week vacation with many of his friends. He graduated from high school in 1976, and in 1982 he graduated with a degree in Christian Education and Religion from Taylor University in Upland, Indiana. Upon graduation he worked as a youth director in churches in Plymouth, MI; Livonia, MI; and Miami, FL. It is in Miami where he met and married his lovely and gifted wife, Robin.

In 1993, Jim, Robin and 1-year old Andrew moved to Columbia, SC where Jim attended Columbia Biblical Seminary and interned at Lexington Presbyterian Church. Upon his graduation in May of 1996 he then accepted the call of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Huntsville, AL, to become their Family Life Pastor. Nine and 1/2 years later he moved his family, which then included daughter, Sarah to South Carolina to become the senior pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Clinton. In addition to his work as pastor, he served on the boards of Bailey Manor (retirement home), The local Y, United Ministries of Clinton (utility assistance, food pantry) and 1 John 3 Ministries (poverty alleviation).

In January of 2020 he accepted a call to return to Westminster in Huntsville to be their associate pastor. As it comes to hobbies, Pastor Roberts loves to golf but rarely gets to do it; is a decent racquetball player, ran his first 5K at the age of 50, and has been on nearly 70 missions trips within the States and around the world.

His loves include both Mexican food and Seafood, but more importantly he loves his Lord, his church and his family.

James was born and raised in Jefferson, Georgia outside the city of Athens. He is one of six siblings who were all homeschooled through high school and attended UGA. He is a graduate of Reformed Theological Seminary in Atlanta and was called to serve at Westminster PCA, Huntsville in January of 2021.

James first felt the call to ministry while attending Gainesville State College, where he met his wife, Anna. He switched his major from Avian Biology to Poultry Science and transferred to UGA to complete his degree. It was there he heard of the RUF internship that would earn him a scholarship to attend seminary, so after graduating and getting married, James and Anna spent the next two years at Texas A&M ministering to international students. They returned to Georgia in 2016 to attend RTS Atlanta and serve with RUF at Kennesaw State. He completed his pastoral internship with Cherokee Presbyterian Church in Canton, GA, and earned his Masters of Divinity in December of 2020. James was ordained on August 29, 2021 and is serving as an Assistant Pastor with a focus on Student Ministry.

James and Anna have a daughter, Eliza Jane, born in February of 2019 and a son Samuel born in October 2021. Anna is an artist and enjoys all things creative, literary, and historical. James loves reading theology and talking about how knowing God changes your life. As a nerd, he enjoys Star Wars, LOTR, and Anime. He is always available if coffee or spicy food is involved, and can often be found playing disc golf or cheering on the Atlanta United soccer team. Go Five Stripes!
