Jim is Geneva’s Associate Pastor and serves alongside Mike in preaching, family, and campus ministry.

Jim first came to Geneva as a UW graduate student planning on an academic career. However, participation at Geneva led Jim to ask new questions about his life goals and vocation. After discerning a call to pastoral ministry, he left Madison in 2009 to serve two churches in New York before returning to Geneva in September 2017.

Jim was born in La Jolla, California and spent his high school and college years in Asheville, North Carolina.  He is a graduate of the University of North Carolina-Asheville (B.A., Philosophy), Westminster Theological Seminary (M.Div., Theology & Pastoral Care), and the University of Wisconsin-Madison (M.A., Hebrew & Semitic Studies).

He is married to Linda and they have three children: Jonathan, Hannah, and Lucas. When he is not at a concert or in a cafe, he can be found in the woods hiking with his family.

Micah has been attending Geneva since he visited in 2010 during his first week of graduate school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The carefully planned, Christ-centered liturgy caught his attention, and during the past four years, his love for both God and the local church have increased through fellowship with Genevans. He recently graduated from UW with a Doctorate in Viola Performance, but his position at Geneva is giving him space to explore a broader range of musical gifts within the context of Christian community. He is grateful for this faith family where he can be challenged, encouraged, and can hopefully inspire people to love Jesus more.

Alicia started attending Geneva as an undergraduate, and though she’s left Madison a few times since for jobs and graduate school, she and her family are happily planted in Madison once again. Alicia and her husband Nate have three young children and enjoy all that Madison has to offer, including ultimate frisbee, bicycling, and community events anywhere from their kids’ local elementary school to the university. Alicia also works part-time as an outpatient dietitian on campus. Somewhere along the way, the desire for organization settled deep in Alicia's soul and, honing her administrative skills, she is happily putting them to work alongside the rest of Geneva's staff.

Karen recently moved from her lifetime home in the Boston area to be closer to her daughter and four of six grandchildren, and eventually settled at Geneva Campus Church with her husband, Arthur. Before children, she taught both junior high and then kindergarten, but her passion has always been for children’s ministry, serving for decades in multiple church ministry capacities from teaching to directing.

After retiring as the Program Director for a New England Scholarship, Karen finds more time to enjoy Madison, to be involved in her grandchildren’s activities and to continue to pursue her desire to see children and youth grow in the love and knowledge of God.
