With two albums and a growing catalogue of choral music, James Cheesman is combining his love for God and music through a career in music ministry.
“When I was a freshman in high school, I was sure I wanted to pursue music. I thought about being a classical pianist or a band director,” Cheesman said, adding, “By my junior year, God had called me to ministry.”
A 2008 graduate of Cuero High School, Cheesman now serves as the worship pastor at First Baptist Church in Farmersville. From a musical family, Cheesman’s father, Larry, is the current music minister at while his mother, retired Cuero teacher Brenda, serves in various musical capacities at FBC.
