After twenty-five years in the software industry, James Pavlic sensed a clear call to full-time pastoral ministry. Ordained in the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), he planted Hope Church in Middlefield, Ohio, and later shepherded small-group and church-planting ministries at Parkman Congregational Church.
In 2023, the Lord led James to Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashua, New Hampshire, where he preaches Christ-centered, Scripture-filled sermons and guides the congregation in prayer-saturated discipleship. A certified seminar leader with seeJesus, James regularly teaches A Praying Life and A Praying Church nationwide. His doctoral research at Reformed Theological Seminary explores how the doctrine of adoption shapes gospel-healthy leadership (“Sons in the Son”).
James enjoys serving on various committees within the Northern New England Presbytery and on the New England Church Planting Network, advocates for continuous improvement in church leadership, and is writing two resources: Tree Spirituality (a discipleship guide) and Worshipping Jesus in the Psalms (a devotional commentary).
