The Gift of a Servant’s Heart!

We are delighted to share news with you about Jim Cox-Chapman, M.D., M.Div. Jim is a 30+ year member of AHCC, a retired geriatrician, and a recent graduate of Yale Divinity School whom many of you know and love. He has offered his vast experience and education in service to AHCC and we have happily accepted.

Effective immediately, Jim will be employed part time at AHCC (for $1 annually) as Pastoral Assistant to Rev. Lara Franklin, Minister of Mid and Later Life. Although Jim is not ordained clergy, he will begin the process with the UCC to be recognized as a commissioned or licensed pastor within the AHCC congregation.

Consistent with his areas of interest, Jim will assist with congregational care, provide some education programming, work with the Climate Action Team, and participate in worship leadership including occasional preaching. This is truly a blessing to the AHCC family!

Please take the opportunity to welcome Jim (and Mally) as he begins a new season of service, an extension of a lifetime of caregiving.
