Cooper named D.S. for Southwest Oklahoma
Bethany, Oklahoma
Monday, December 21, 2009
Jim G. Cooper has been appointed to the office of district superintendent of the Southwest Oklahoma District. The appointment was due to the vacancy left by W. Talmadge Johnson, interim district superintendent and general superintendent emeritus.
The action was taken by General Superintendent Jesse C. Middendorf with approval by the Board of General Superintendents and in consultation with a district committee. The appointment will be effective January 25, 2010.
Cooper is currently serving as pastor of The Point Church of the Nazarene in San Jose, California. According to the church's web site, Cooper's ministerial service has included roles as youth pastor, teacher/trainer, senior pastor, and missionary, which provide a richness and depth of perspective. He has specialized in areas of relational leadership, community in the church, compassionate ministries, and church renewal and growth.
A native of Arkansas, Cooper previously served in churches in Topeka, Kansas, and Houston, Texas, before becoming pastor at Denison, Texas, First Church, and Enid, Oklahoma, First Church. He served as a missionary from 1992-1996 and began his service at The Point in 1997.
Cooper is a graduate of Bethany Nazarene College (now Southern Nazarene University) (Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts), Nazarene Theological Seminary (Master of Divinity), and Phillips Theological Seminary (Doctor of Ministry).
Jim and his wife, Betty, currently reside in San Jose.
