CHURCH STAFF
Meet our staff!
Rev. Jimmie Rivera
Lead Pastor
Coming out of years of abuse and drug addiction, Jimmie Rivera found Jesus in 1981 through the ministry of Teen Challenge - and never looked back. After graduating from Teen Challenge, he worked with youth at a Church of God for several years. Getting his Associates degree in Business Administration and going to school for construction trades, he became the Property Manager for a large condominium complex. It was at this time that he felt the call to ministry and began working nights to get his ministry education as well as working in pastoral ministry. Growing greatly in his relationship with the Lord and in His Word, he went into ministry at Teen Challenge Training Center as Vocational Administrator. He was married and raising his family when he got his credentials. In 1994, God called him and his wife Debbie to start the ministry here at City Limits Assembly of God and they have been loving the people of Allentown ever since. Pastor Jim loves God, loves people and loves the city of Allentown. He and Debbie have 3 children and 11 grandchildren.
