theological studies at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas in 1962. After graduating from seminary, He studied under Dr. Nat
Tracy at Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas—auditing his undergraduate courses for several years. Dr. Tracy and James Gibson served together as
co-chaplains at the State Juvenile Rehabilitation Center in Brownwood, Texas for five years.
He was pastor of three churches in central Texas before founding an experimental house church on Lake Brownwood in 1968. This made it necessary to become a
bi-vocational minister. This church pioneered in providing outdoor worship services for visitors to Lake Brownwood. Church by the Lake focused upon
spiritual formation and experimented with various spiritual growth techniques. He remained the spiritual leader for Church by the Lake for 26 years until
his partial retirement in 1995.

constructed and operated a mini-storage business in Bangs, Texas for 20 years and have operated a service ministry to hunters in Colorado for 30 years.

managing partner for this venture.
