Pastor Jim Frease

Have you ever wondered if it’s okay to laugh in church? Then you will really like Pastor Jim! Pastor Jim Frease is the Founder and Senior Pastor of Joy Church, as well as Founder and President of World Changers Bible Institute (WCBI) in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee. He is the primary instructor at WCBI and has been ministering since 1984. Pastor Jim emphasizes a relationship with Jesus Christ, not religion; the Word of God, and not tradition; and he emphasizes enjoying your life, not enduring it. Pastor Jim always puts an emphasis on not just what you need to do, but how you need to do it. He is a very encouraging teacher who always leaves a light at the end of the tunnel…and it’s not an oncoming train!

Pastor Jim loves to share God’s Word through joy and encouragement and has also authored 11 books; Winning With Wisdom – Volumes 1-5, Enduring Life or Enjoying Life?, Pray The Word, Wisdom 365, and MENTOR – Years 1-3.

Pastor Jim and his wife Anne have been married since 1990 and deeply love their son Johnathan. Pastor Jim loves spending time with his family and truly enjoys Ohio State football, fishing, Ohio State Football, fishing, and Ohio State Football. Anne loves to shop…so, as Pastor Jim says, sometimes they compromise and shop at Bass Pro.
