Jim Pace

Jim has been a pastor on staff with NLCF, in Blacksburg, VA, since 1996. He and his wife Tracy have been married since 1995 and they have three kids: Noah, Seth, and Emma. He recieved his Bachelor’s from Virginia Tech in Psychology and Sociology. He is currently pursuing his M. Div at Leland and plans to get his Doctorate.
Jim has had about every role in NLCF over the years with the exception of worship leading (fortunately for everyone). He started as a co-leader of a small group and had various other administrative jobs. Over time he began teaching and leading teams. In 2002, he was ordained through Great Commission Association of Churches as a Pastor/Elder. Presently, he oversees NLCF’s campus congregation, teaches about 75% of the time, coaches several of the staff and student leaders, keeps an eye on the trajectory of the church overall, and maintains connections with churches or congregations that NLCF has planted (6 to date) and one network that NLCF helped start (Ecclesia).
