James was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, and he moved to the U.S. as a high school student in 2000. James's realization of his calling to the ministry came after years of pursuing a career and establishing his own business in logistics. Since then, he dedicated himself to serving in his own local church while pursuing his theological education. He has a Master of Arts degree in biblical stuides and a Doctor of Ministry in theology and apologetics. He next began ministering to churches in the Memphis, TN area and beyond with his regular evangelistic work for over five years.
James joined Meadow Heights as our senior pastor on October 1, 2023. He is joined by his wife, Mina, and children Jacob, Joshua, Julia, Joseph and Judah. Meadow Heights is blessed by the entire Kim family and excited about Pastor James and his ministry calling to the Collinsville area.
We are extremely blessed that Pastor Jim Robinson serves in our church. Serving in ministry for over 50 years, his impact upon the kingdom as a pastor will not be known this side of heaven. He oversees our care ministry.
Jim has been serving at Meadow Heights since 2007 and just recently celebrated his 15th anniversary. Jim recently transitioned from Minister of Music to Minister of Pastoral Care. In this new role, Jim is responsible to help with the care, prayer, and counseling needs of the church, and working with the seniors in discipleship and care. Jim and his wife Rosie have been important members of our church family, and we were all deeply saddened with Rosie passed away in May 2022. Please continue to pray for Jim and his family as we continue to mourn the loss of Rosie.
Pastor Jim is also blessed with a servant's heart. Do not be surprised if you get a letter from him, a needed hug of encouragement, or that you find him to be a willing ear to listen.
Colleen is a true blessing to Meadow Heights, having served our church in both office and financial administration for over 20 years!
Colleen also does facilities management and is the go-to person if you need to know how something works or where something got moved – she either knows or knows who to call. Colleen is married to Ron (they met at Meadow Heights). They have two children, Nick and Brooke, and they have one adorable grandchild, Olivia.
Lynne is also no stranger to Meadow Heights. While she has only been working in the church office for a few years, she has been attending MHBC for 50+ years. Lynne is married to Jim (retired US Army) and they have three sons: James, Jeremy, and Joe.
We asked Lynne to share a bit about her life and she shared “While a member of MHBC, I have volunteered/worked as pianist/organist, VBS, children's program, and numerous other events. I spent 20+ years traveling with my husband and family while Jim was in the US Army. Proud mother of 3 sons, 11 grandchildren, and a great-grandchild." She truly enjoys the friendships and support MHBC has given to her and her family.
Cory joined Meadow Heights in July, 2024 with a passion for advancing the gospel of Jesus Christ, working with children, youth, young adults, and young families. Cory is recently retired from the US Navy, and has quickly jumped into service at Meadow Heights! Since joining the staff, Cory has started several programs, including Sunday Night Youth activities and sponsoring our monthly Families Night ministry. He also leads the men's program (called MENistry at MHBC). Cory is married to Cristal and they have three lovely children: Christian (married to Dannielle), Caiden, and Calvin.
