Rev. Jimmy Guffey
Rev. Jimmy Guffey is Lead Pastor at MIPortlandNaz, where he has served since March 2017. He is a graduate of Olivet Nazarene University with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Youth Ministry and several intramural championships in softball, kickball, flag football, and ultimate frisbee. He was ordained in the Church of the Nazarene in May 2015 at Camp Camby in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Jimmy has been married to Joy since June 2010, and together they have five beautiful children—Jackson, Ezra, Jacob, Emanie, and Eden. He enjoys reading and writing, wrestling with his kids, playing games with family and friends, camping (and by that he means staying in the camper at Indian Lake Nazarene Camp), cheering for the Indiana Fever, watching football, and playing Fantasy Football (although he still hasn’t won the championship in MIPortlandNaz’s League of Ordinary Churchmen).
The Guffey’s have dedicated their lives to ministry together—in service to God and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with others. They are a relational family who desire to partner with the grace of God by sharing with others not only the gospel of God but their lives as well.
