Pastor Jim Bessey

Pastor Jim Bessey began as Interim Pastor at Mount Cross Lutheran Church on January 2, 2018. Pastor Jim settled into a familiar role, that of interim pastor. Mount Cross is the fourth church Pastor Jim has helmed as a temporary head. In fact, he’s developed something of a reputation as a go to choice for Lutheran churches between permanent pastors, a role the 73-year-old Bessey said he enjoys.“It’s helpful for me to use my skills as a parish pastor to assist congregations during this transition time,” he said. “I feel like I’m appreciated, and it’s rewarding for me to do this work on behalf of the church.”

Pastor Jim will serve as Interim Pastor until a full time Senior Pastor is called to Mount Cross.
