Jim Harris was the founder and Pastor of Portland Christian Center in Portland, Texas for over 32 years!
Why We’re Different
We are committed to building the local church through revelation in the Word and demonstration of the Spirit!
There are countless ministries around the world and we all have one thing in common—preaching the Gospel and reaching the lost.
So what makes JHIM different? Pastor Jim knows what living in the world is like. He knew how to do that well, but Jesus got ahold of him and totally changed the course of his life. Pastor Jim experienced the love of God that set him free. It was through that experience, and then being trained for the ministry, that he found himself as a Pastor for 32 years.

Not only does he know ministry, he knows and understands the needs of the local church. Countless lives have been touched and radically changed through JHIM through the very same love of God that set Pastor Jim free all those years ago.

How to Become a Christian
Do you know for a fact, without a doubt, that if you died right after reading this you would go to heaven? Now, be honest with yourself. Are you positive you’re going to spend eternity in Heaven and not Hell when you die? “Well, I think so… I hope so… I really don’t know… I probably will because I’ve led a good life… I guess I will… I’ve gone to church my whole life…”
If any of these are your responses, then I have good news for you! You can know, for sure, according to God’s Word, that you have eternal life.
1 John 5:11-13 says, “And what is it that God has said? That he has given us eternal life and that this life is in His Son. So whoever has God’s Son has life; whoever does not have his Son, does not have life. I have written this to you who believe in the Son of God so THAT YOU MAY KNOW YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE” (emphasis added).
Contrary to what a lot of people think, you cannot earn eternal life. As a matter of fact, it has nothing to do with how you lived your life before you receive eternal life.
Romans 5:12 says, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.” And Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Notice that eternal life is a gift from God. Now, you don’t earn a gift, you simply receive it. But until you receive it, you don’t have it; and after you receive it, you KNOW you have it.
The way to receive eternal life from God is not just by going to church, “doing good”, or trying to live right. NO! It’s received by believing in Jesus Christ with your heart and confessing Him as Lord with your lips.
Romans 10:9-10 tells us that “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine HEART that God raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the HEART, man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.”
Notice that it is with the HEART, not the head, that we are to believe. A MERE MENTAL AGREEMENT THAT JESUS DIED FOR YOU WILL DO YOU NO GOOD! But, if you will give your heart to Jesus, He will change you inside so you can live for Him. As long as you try to “clean up your own life” without Him, you’re wasting your time; and who knows how much time you have to waste!
If you really believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, that He died for you, and that God raised Him from the dead; if you want to know FOR A FACT that you have eternal life, then say this prayer out loud right now:
“Father God, I believe with my heart that Jesus died for my sins, that He is Your Son and that You raised Him from the dead. I accept Him now as Lord of my life; and I ask You, in Jesus’ Name, to forgive me of my sins and change me inside so that I can live for You. Your Word says all those who call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved; so I know I’m saved because I’m calling on You now.
Thank You for giving me eternal life! Amen!”
