Pastor Jimmy and Sandy Blackman

Pastor Jimmy Blackman is glad to return to Lower Alabama, having started ministry at Mobile (AL) First Church of the Nazarene as minister of music and youth. Jimmy has served over thirty years in pastoral ministry in Alabama and Tennessee, serving most recently at Nashville (TN) First Church of the Nazarene as pastor to senior adults. He is a graduate of Trevecca Nazarene University and Nazarene Theological Seminary.

Rev. Sandy Blackman has served in partnership with Pastor Jimmy for their entire married life; however, in recent years Sandy has felt a call to vocational ministry. She is a district licensed minister in the Church of the Nazarene and is pursuing ordination. She most recently served part time at Nashville First Church of the Nazarene as pastoral care/visitation associate. She also served there as worship ministries associate, where she organized worship and led the Celebration Choir. Sandy attended Midamerica Nazarene University and Trevecca Nazarene University, and she is currently taking classes toward ordination through the Central Gulf Coast District Church of the Nazarene.

From Jimmy and Sandy—

We believe wholeheartedly that God has called us to be a part of FairHOPE Church of the Nazarene. God is moving in amazing ways, and we are excited to see what He will do in the days ahead. We would love for you to join us!
