Dallas Willard Ministries is excited to welcome James Hutter to our staff as Content Manager/Director of Special Projects and Donor Relations.

James holds bachelor’s degrees in Political Science (Messiah College) and Business Administration (Houghton College) along with Master’s degrees in Public Policy (Regent University) and Christian Spiritual Formation and Leadership (Friends University). James stumbled upon Dallas Willard in 2007, wearing out numerous MP3s downloaded from DWillard.org. He looked for years for a learning community where he could wrestle with Dallas’ ideas related to the Kingdom of God. The CSFL program/Apprentice Experience at Friends University proved to be the perfect fit. This program changed his life in profound ways including giving him the opportunity to get to know many of the good people of Dallas Willard Ministries.

Professionally, James served as an associate registrar at a Christian liberal arts college for 19 years followed by 3 years working as the CFO for a family medical practice. He has a passion for higher education, data management, all things C.S. Lewis and Dallas Willard, and Christian spiritual formation.

In late 2021, James began volunteering with DWM, spearheading resource development efforts that will make all of Dallas’s audio and video recordings easily text searchable along with the articles on DWillard.org, as we work toward a comprehensive searchable database of Dallas’s teaching. This work continues and meshes well with the additional responsibilities of his new position at DWM.

James grew up in Troy, PA, and moved to Franklinville, NY, in 1999 when he married Sarah. In 2005 they began hosting international students coming to the US to study. The Hutter family still resides in Franklinville, where there are now 10 kids living in the house on normal days, and 13 during holidays.
