WELCOME TO 
FRIEND OF GOD MINISTRIES 
 

SENIOR PASTOR
JAMES THOPSON

Pastor James Thompson was only 12 when he first felt a quiet pull toward something greater than himself. By 16, he was drawn to prayer, Scripture, and serving in his local church. At 20, he began traveling from city to city, seeking God, reading the Bible, and learning to hear His voice.  By 30, that calling had become a deep conviction, leading him into mentorship, study, and hands-on ministry. At 40, he was ordained a deacon, continuing to grow in service as God used him increasingly more.  In 2016, James received a call to full-time pastoral ministry. After taking time in 2020 to be renewed and prepared, God led him to Orlando, Florida, where he became a pastor.  For the past six years, he has faithfully preached the Gospel and that Jesus died and was resurrected for our sins and the truth of Romans 8:31–39: that nothing can separate us from the love of God. His mission remains to share this message and lead others to give their lives to Jesus.
