Meet Our Staff: Jim Hansen

Jim Hansen is a well-loved teacher around here. Students enjoy his way of telling stories. They also love the way he opens class with either the doxology, prayer, or silent prayer time. He has experience on the mission field and now gives his time to the Bible college and his family. Recently he brought his granddaughter’s stuffed animal to class with him and took pictures to show her later!
