James Roberts

James Roberts is currently president of Church Based Training(CCBT).  This is information about his journey to CCBT.

" I am church-based trained. Sounds like a confession doesn’t it, but that’s my story! From maturing under the ministry of Grace Community Church in southern California to developing spiritual disciplines under the ministry of Perimeter Church in Atlanta to serving in leadership roles through the ministry of Fellowship Bible Church North in Plano, Texas… my spiritual growth and leadership development has all taken place within the context of the local church.

So, it was a natural transition for me to leave a business I had helped start to join the Center for Church Based Training in February 1999. Since that time, God has continued to grow me and use me to encourage church leadership around the world to become more intentional about the growth and maturity of the people God is entrusting to their care.

My greatest joy is found in the relationships God has orchestrated into my life. My wife Anette, whom I met in 1977 and married in 1979, introduced me to Christ and we were baptized together. Anette and I have been journeying together in Christ’s mission ever since. We have three grown children… Christine, Joshua, and Lauren. My mentors from days past are still influential in my life and I would rather spend time with friends than just about anything else. I “de-stress” at my pool table and one thing still on my “to do” list is to learn the guitar."
