Pastor James Lowe began his career in ministry serving under Ps. Marvin Winans in Detroit, Ml. He and his wife Debbie Winans-Lowe have been serving the Nashville area since 2003 when they relocated from Detroit for James to assume the role of Director of the Youth Life Foundation of Tennessee. 
Every step of James' professional career has been marked by a passion for outreach. Those steps include gang intervention programs in both Detroit and Nashville, serving in various youth development and intervention roles, and partnering with organizations to break the cycle of youth delinquency and underachievement. James' passion and compassion have compelled him to lead the charge in creating sustainable, long-term solutions by partnering with groups such as the United Way of Nashville Tennessee and developing funding criteria for the Outcomes-Based Investment Council. 
James joined the staff of Bethel World Outreach Church as Senior Associate Pastor in 2007 and stepped into his current role as Senior Pastor in 2012. His passion for outreach is once again evident as he leads the charge of "Reaching a City to Touch the World." 
Pastor James has a B.S. in Social Work from Eastern Michigan University. He married Debbie Winans-Lowe in 1995 and they, along with their three amazing sons, live in Nashville, TN.
