Jim Liske

Jim Liske joined Prison Fellowship as CEO in July 2011. He comes to PF after serving for nine years as the senior pastor at Ridge Point Community Church in western Michigan.

Under Jim’s leadership, Ridge Point began a para-church organization that helps newly released prisoners deal with addiction recovery challenges, find employment, and transition back into the community.

Jim grew up on a family farm in Michigan, where he gained a strong work ethic and a firm foundation in the Christian faith. He sensed a call to full-time ministry as a young man and in 1986 earned a master’s of divinity from Denver Seminary in Denver, Colo. Since then, he has led churches and organizations in the United States and Canada.

Jim is the husband to his beloved Cathy with whom he is raising two children, Allison and Joshua.
