The people who serve Mt. Horeb — on staff and on council.

Pastor
Jim Boatwright

Jim Boatwright

Director of Music

Jim returns to Mt. Horeb after serving as organist and choir director here from 1980 to 1983. He has taught music in Irmo, Birmingham, Shreveport and Tulsa, working as a church musician for much of that time, and retired from Redeemer Lutheran in St. Andrews in December 2024 — briefly. His goal at The Mount is to craft church music that awakens vibrant worship, and he'd love to hear from anyone interested in the choir, handbells, or playing an instrument.
