In 2025, Jim Cashwell accepted the call to serve as Executive Pastor at Calvary Church after filling the Missions & Outreach Pastor role for many years.

Jim's calling is to disciple believers and equip the church to follow Christ’s example of “seeking and saving that which is lost.” He came to Calvary Church in 2011 after stepping away for three years to serve with Joni and Friends International Disability Ministry. He is passionate about teaching God’s Word, discipling others, and leading the church to become and make authentic followers of Christ.

Jim was born and raised in Eastern North Carolina and asked Jesus Christ to be his Savior and Lord at age nine. He graduated from Campbell University and Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He has served churches in North and South Carolina for over forty years.

He is married to Anna, a native Charlottean. God has blessed them with six children: Josh, Jared (Tessa), Jake, Rachel (Nolan), Rebekah (Nick), and Sam, plus five grandchildren: Olive, Theo, Evelyn, Snyder, and Ellie.
