About me
 

 


Jim Lay, a brief background

I am not going to spend a lot of space on me, but I have been a Deacon since 1976, and a Bible Teacher for over 30 years. My wife and I have taught groups of couples starting with Young Marrieds, and progressing though the age groups until we are now teaching the Median Adult class.

My background includes working and retiring from a large computer company with a Masters degree in Electrical engineering and Marketing. I am still working in the computer industry but have been very active in my church ministries as well. I am currently a trustee, and an active Deacon in First Baptist Church and serve on other committees as well.  I am an avid reader and read extensively on Church History, and the commentaries and Bible Study material I have accumulated over these many years.

I have been married to my wife for 40 years and we have 2 incredible children, a great daughter-in law, and great son-in-law, and 5 beautiful grandchildren.

I have a passion for Bible Study, and am keenly aware of how important it is for Christians to know what they believe and be able to defend and state their fatih. My classes focus on the Bible itself, the eternal Revelation of God through the scriptures, and the relationship we need to have with Jesus Christ.

I try to explain, clarify, make relevant, and lead people to Christ and depend on the Holy Sprit to complete the task of making them believers.
