  • Jim Williams

    Jim is enthusiastically devoted to baseball (working for the Seattle Mariners when they are in town), his wife Susan (celebrating 52 years together), his five adult children and his fourteen grandkids……and this wild and wonderful God who continues to pursue him even when he tries, at times, to run and hide. 

    At the age of 35 he became a licensed Foursquare pastor. At the age of 57 he was tricked, by this wild and wonderful God, to go to graduate school and get a master’s degree in counseling. He thought he was going to “help others” but it was he who needed to stop hiding and get whole and healthy.  

    He views the counseling process as a unique opportunity to explore the client’s relational dynamics, which may be causing them emotional pain or anxiety. He hopes to offer a safe environment to explore life’s challenges. Jim believes that there is hope even in times of pain and loss and that these times can provide distinct and important occasions for growth.

    Jim retired as licensed mental health counselor in 2022 but is willing to meet with individuals as a mentor.

  • Joe Bulman

    Joe Bulman was called into ministry at the young age of 8 years old. No, seriously, he had a custom-built pulpit at the age of eight. He started pastoring his youth group at the age of 15. When he was 17 years old, he met Kari Mueller, who he asked to marry him six months later. She then became Kari Bulman and has served beside him ever since. They have four kids, all three years apart. Kari and Joe Co-Pastor, and they love doing ministry and life together. They genuinely believe in knowing God, loving people, and being family.

    If there is a line of people at Joe’s funeral giving testimonies that he challenged them to believe that God has a calling and purpose for them, and he did everything he could to help them pursue it, he will be a champion.

    Joe believes that everyone is to take Jeremiah 1:5 and fill in their own blank. “For I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb, and I set you apart to be a _______________ to the nations.”

    Jeremiah 1:5 (NJBV, New Joe Bulman Version)

  • Jeff Espeseth

    Growing up as the son of a pastor and a school teacher, the last thing I wanted out of life was to become either of those things. But I knew that I had a call on my life. I could not picture how my passions and interests would align with what I envisioned to be a life of pastoral ministry. I decided to surrender my skepticism and “generously” give God a year at Bible college to make Himself clear. As I discovered more of who God created me to be, I also discovered a genuine passion for seeing people discover the beauty of God and not simply the illusion of religion. And 30+ years later, I’m still growing and discovering more about myself, God and the beauty of this messy life.

    Life is meant to be fulfilling and meaningful, but for many people it seems like it is simply a drag from one day to the next. I have been there. I’ve experienced the numbness and sense of longing for a life that truly matters. Not before I was a believer, but after twenty years of ministry as a pastor. It took time and prayer, but once I discovered a fresh and renewing call in my life, I began to see the beauty of Jesus again. My heart and passion for pastors – and all leaders – is to rediscover their values, hopes, dreams and purpose. I also desire for you to find that place where you truly belong. I long for pastors to discover a safe community where they can connect; those who can help carry you through the discouraging and difficult times.

    I am excited for you to walk this journey. My hope is that as you strive to become more of who God created you to be you will find your true self. In the midst of that your strengths will be enhanced, your vision expanded, your values cemented and relationships built that will last for the rest of your life.

    I am married to Traci who is an incredible leader and visionary. We have two adult children that love Jesus and love other people well. They are creative, passionate, and kind – all any parent could hope for. Our son-in-law has a heart of gold, and he also happens to be able to fix, build or repair anything – which is great because I cannot; and he also gave us the most beautiful gift of our first grandchild, who is exceptionally cute and has completely stolen our hearts.
