staff_jim Jim Nite, Pastor
jim@cpccnaples.org

Jim is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary (ThM) and Gordon-Conwell Seminary (DMin).

Jim is married to Sue (who serves as the Director of Christian Education) and has three sons, Micah, Noah and Don (who joined the family at the age of 10). Jim enjoys long walks, travel, and any time with his family. He is also a really poor skier, but loves mountains and snow.
