Meet Rev. Jim Cunningham - Associate Pastor
 

Ordained in 1971, Jim began his ministry with Bath Church in August, 2001.  A graduate of Heidelberg College (B.A., Psychology, 1968), and Lancaster Theological Seminary (M. Div., 1971), Jim’s previous ministries include 8 years in parish ministry and 22 years in healthcare ministry.  As a hospital chaplain, he has extensive experience in virtually all fields of medicine; he is nationally recognized for his expertise in perinatal pastoral care (ministry involving crisis in pregnancy, birth, and early infancy). 

As Associate Pastor, Jim provides and coordinates pastoral care ministries in addition to assisting in the general ministry of the church.  He also writes and distributes the church’s weekly email newsletter, “Splashes from Bath.”  Jim is an outstanding public speaker and is available to speak to churches, community groups, professional groups, etc.  See the list below of possible speaking topics.

Jim and his wife, Charlene Battiato, share five children in a blended family and two dogs.  In addition to his ministry, Jim loves God’s awesome grace, the gift of each day, movies, theater, music, computers, time with his family, being a cancer survivor, and laughing.

STEPHEN MINISTRY IS…

a ministry of our congregation that equips select lay persons to provide distinctively Christian one-to-one care to adults who are experiencing all kinds of life needs and circumstances.

STEPHEN MINISTERS…

Visit another person regularly (at minimum weekly) and dependably offering Christian care through listening, supporting, encouraging, and praying.

Maintain confidentiality sharing neither the identity of their care receiver nor any details of the person’s life or sharing.

Compassionate, full of faith, skilled, trustworthy, trained, & supervised.

Are not a counselor or therapist, a problem-solver, a casual visitor

CARE RECEIVERS…

People coping with change, stress, and/or loss such as death, divorce, retirement, unemployment, change in health, empty nest, recent move, new job, spiritual crisis, new marriage, birth of a child, entering a caregiving role with a family member, etc.

People who may very well be able to work things through alone. However, they probably could work through it much better, faster, or with less stress with the help and support of a Stephen Minister.

REFERRALS…

If you or someone you know might benefit from a Stephen Minister, contact our Stephen Leaders, Joan and Harry Albrecht, or speak with one of the pastors. Encourage others who might benefit from this ministry to contact the Stephen Leaders or Pastor.
