Foundation and Fire
A channel dedicated to the work of pastors and the ministry of the local church, informed by the ongoing power and relevance of the Reformation in our American, post-Christian context.
I'm James F. Cubie, Pastor and Head of Staff at Mattituck Presbyterian Church, PC(USA), on Long Island. I have served as a Youth Minister, Assistant Pastor, Evangelist and Church Planter. In 2004, I received an MDiv from Union Theological Seminary (NYC), where I learned that I was not a liberal Protestant; discovered the continuing power and relevance of the Reformation; and saw the reality of Protestantism without Reformation (Bonhoeffer). I completed a ThM in Systematic Theology from Princeton Theological Seminary in 2010, and am pursuing a Doctor of Ministry at The University of Dubuque Theological Seminary. The focus of the DMin is the promise of Reformed ecclesiology in a post-Christian context. I'm a husband, father, and recovering prayerless pastor.
