The Reverend Jim Watford is Trinity’s Senior Pastor. He is a native of Charlotte (the Mint Hill area of Mecklenburg County) and graduated from Charlotte Independence High School. Both of his parents were from South Carolina, as is most of his extended family, so he spent many weekends and summers of his childhood in the towns of Hartsville and Camden. His sister and her family still live in Mint Hill. Jim is a graduate of the University of North Carolina (Go Heels!!!) and the Divinity School at Yale University.
