Pastor<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGreetings in the Name of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. I am Pastor Jim Nelson. I have been happily married to my lovely wife, Barbara, for over 35 years. We have been doing ministry our whole life together. Music and worship have always been at the center of our ministry. In 2021, I joined Holy Cross to share the Gospel, teach the Word and share the Sacraments with the community in Brigham City. My heart in ministry is that people will come to know Jesus Christ as their own personal Lord and Savior and grow in their understanding of His life-giving Word.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
