Rev. Jim DuBois, Pastor
Grace and Peace,
My name is Pastor Jim DuBois. I’ve had the pleasure of serving the Northminster congregation since January of 2014. I graduated from the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity.
I have a beautiful wife and two sons. My hobbies tend to be seasonal. In the spring/summer months I love to golf, fall I love to hunt, and winter I ice fish.
I love being a pastor! Preaching, teaching, and sharing in the lives of our faith community is a wonderful way to serve God’s kingdom. You’ll find at Northminster we are a very relational church,welcoming all in love. That’s how I choose to view ministry. Love God. Love your neighbor.
I take my calling very seriously, but I don’t take myself too seriously. In worship, we tend to laugh together quite often. To me, it shows the true joy in our worship.
Thank you for taking the time to read a little about our church. I’d love to meet you!
God Bless, Pastor Jim
