Shawnee Hills Baptist Church - Jamestown, Ohio

Pastoral Staff

Jim Riggle - Senior Pastor

In September of 1999, Shawnee Hills was blessed with the opportunity to call as their senior pastor Jim Riggle and his wife Rebecca. The Church has continued to grow and flourish under their ministry. God has given Pastor Jim a passion for people and has allowed him to use this gift in bringing others to the Lord. Pastor Jim, Becky and their three children continue to pray that God would make this Church their only ministry before going home. They truly have become an essential part of the family of God at Shawnee Hills. Pastor Jim also has a passion for golf, racquetball, gardening, walks with his family and an occasional game of Scrabble.

Adam McCune - Pastor of Teen Ministries and Discipleship

My wife, Michelle, and I are grateful to be part of the Shawnee Hills Baptist Church family. Michelle has been a member for ten years and I have been a member for five years. Prior to moving to Ohio, I lived on the southern outskirts of Chicago, where I served as a youth and children's pastor for three years. Since that time, the Lord has provided a way for me to complete my seminary education and serve the church in various capacities at the same time.

My passion is to see youth take their manhood or womanhood seriously so that they might be used by God to lead their generation in a God-ward direction. That is why I serve as the pastor of teen ministry and discipleship. God has also given me an opportunity to live with 200 college students at Cedarville University, where I mentor men in the dorms. God has given Michelle a passion for young mothers or mothers-to-be, and serves both the church and community by encouraging women in that stage of life. In 2009, God blessed Michelle and I with a very energetic son, Tinsley William. He likes to wrestle, sing, read books, hang upside down, and wake us up way too early every morning. Every night, we pray that God would help us, as a family, to serve Him faithfully and fruitfully.

Support Staff

Emily Francisco - Administrative Assistant

Emily Francisco has been a part of Shawnee Hills' office ministry since the late 70's when she became part a part time secretary and worked in that capacity for about 3 years. After a long hiatus she returned in 1991 to become full time secretary. With the changes in administration came learning and through the years Emily has learned to adapt to many different personalities, both a challenge and a growing experience. The ministry has grown by leaps and bounds and in 2001 it became necessary to hire on another full time secretary and Emily was promoted to the position of Administrative Assistant and Office Manager. While invaluable in assisting the Senior Pastor and staff, she has also been trained in Biblical Counseling and is a key person in ministering to women in the Church.

Pamela Brown - Secretary

In January of 2007, Shawnee Hills Baptist Church hired a homemaker of 16 years to be secretary. She has been around the Shawnee Hills family for quite a while and has loved the friends she has made there. Pamela and her husband of 29 years, along with their 3 daughters, live in Cedarville and enjoy serving the church in various ministries.
