Notes for James SPEAR
James (Jim) Spear was born the son of a Nazarene minister in Titusville, Florida. The custom for ministers in the Church of the Nazarene is to go when and where the Lord calls, hopefully to a larger and more prosperous church. Jim moved several times with his parents while growing up. At the age of two, they moved to Sanford, Florida, then to Miami, Florida. During his Elementart School years they lived in Ocala, Florida, then Bradenton, Florida, where he graduated from High School. In 1973, He married Cynthia Ann Mosley, daughter of Bill and Eva Rutherford Mosley. He received a B.S. Degree in Business Administration from Trevecca Nazarene College in Nashville, Tennessee in 1974.  Jim attended the Nazarene Theological Seminary in Kansas City,Missouri where he earned his M.S. degree in Religion. Jim and Ann pastored their first church at Kenneth City, Pinellas, Florida, where their first child, Christopher James (Buster) was born. Late in 1980, they accepted the pastorate at Grace Church of the Nazarene in Fresno, California for five years then moved to Sapulpa, Oklahoma for the next six years. Their other son Michael Allen was born there in 1989. In August 1991, they accepted the call to pastor the Princeton Church of the Nazarene in Homestead, Florida. The following August, South Florida was devastated and destroyed by Hurricane Andrew, including the church building. As of this writing in August 2001, They are still laboring for God and hope to begin construction on a new sanctuary soon.
