About Arthur J. James Arthur J. James is the Lead Pastor of The Transparent Church in Grand Prairie, TX. He has been a bi-vocational pastor for more than twenty years and knows how hard it can be to communicate, lead, and manage the vital relationships in your life at the same time while producing weekly sermons. Arthur is a native of Dallas, Texas and a product of the Dallas Independent School District. He is both a graduate of Skyline High School and a former teacher there as well. He completed his undergraduate studies at The University of North Texas where he received a Bachelor’s degree in Hotel & Restaurant Management.

Arthur left the hotel industry to teach hospitality management at his former high school and then continued his career in education at North Lake College as the professor of hospitality from 1999 to 2010. In the fall of 2010 he took a position in administration at North Lake College and has been in leadership as the Executive Dean of two of the college’s community campuses since. Arthur is currently still in the role of Executive Dean where he serves both the North Campus in Coppell, TX and the South Campus located in South Irving. Arthur is also a past board member of The Hospitality Educators Association of Texas, the Grand Prairie Chamber of Commerce, The National Association of Branch Campus Administrators, and the Grand Prairie Boys and Girls Club. He is a current board member of the Coppell Chamber of Commerce where he has served for the past seven consecutive years. As a bi-vocational pastor Arthur also has experience in being called to his first church The Dallas Christian Hope Baptist Church from 1996 – 2004 and understands the dynamics of a church planter as the founder of The Transparent Church in 2004.
