Pastor Rainwater leads our team and staff at Bethany Church and enjoys teaching Scripture for life-change, training and equipping leaders, and leading a church with the faith to ask God for big things.
"I did not grow up in an active Christian home," James says. "This has marked me with a deep appreciation of the Lord's power to transform lives and families. When Jesus steps in, nothing should be the same."
Having been born and raised in Arkansas, James has spent a combined thirty-four years in pastoral ministry and received his Doctor of Ministry (DMin.) in Theology and Apologetics from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia.
James' wife Aimee, is the Principal at Thomas Elementary. They have three children, Charish, Caleb and Noah.
