A Tribute to James A. Cress

The Ministerial Association of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists expresses our appreciation and gratitude for the ministry of Pastor James A. Cress, ministerial secretary at the world headquarters for the past 17 years. During his leadership he developed an extraordinary ministry of equipping, training, and inspiring pastors, their spouses, and families around the world.

He was a great leader, good friend, loving person, wise mentor, and faithful colleague. He was a pastor par excellence and a man of God!

We have lost our colleague in ministry—but only temporarily. We have the assurance and the great hope that very soon we will meet Jim again when Jesus Christ returns.

Until that wonderful resurrection day, we will continue to find great comfort and strength in Jesus and endeavor to build upon the legacy of James A. Cress.

Jim’s dream was that every clergy spouse who desired to be involved in team ministry would be given the opportunity. His passion for this choice was demonstrated throughout his life by his continued devotion to the cause. Funds have not been available for this to be implemented in most parts of the world.

Therefore, in lieu of flowers, contributions to his dream should be sent to:
