Shawn and Laura James are the lead pastors and founders of New Foundations Church. After more than 20 years of following Jesus and two decades of serving in ministry, they felt God calling them to build something new: New Foundation. 

Shawn's story is one of redemption, coming out of years of drug and alcohol addiction before giving his life to Christ. Since then, he has served in Straight Street Ministries, Honor Bound motorcycle ministry, Faith Creek, and House of Nam.

Shawn and Laura met at Faith Creek in 2014 and have four children and five grandchildren. They love seeing people encounter Jesus, find freedom, and build a strong foundation in Christ.
