Meet Dr. Jim Broffitt, a retired professor from the U-Iowa!

In 1970 I moved to Iowa City after accepting a position at The University of Iowa. Although I believed God existed, Jesus was not a part of my life. Soon after our son was born in 1979, my wife and I started looking for a church. We visited many and landed here. Through my church experience, my eyes were opened to the truth of God’s Word. I knew I was a sinner in need of forgiveness. In 1980 I put my trust and faith in Jesus – the best decision I ever made!
