Jim Booth, Senior Pastor. Jim's first Sunday at SMRBC was June 25, 2006. After ten years focusing overseas with the IMB, God led Jim's family to invest themselves in the Richmond area through this special church. Jim is committed to faithfully and joyfully teaching the Scriptures, while leading us as a church to maintain a missionary mindset toward our community and the ends of the earth. His preparation for ministry took place at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary in Memphis, Tennessee (M.Div.) and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina (D.Min.). Jim and Joy are the parents of three daughters. As you join with us, Pastor Jim looks forward to getting to know you and equipping you for a life of joy and impact in and through Jesus Christ.
