About James
EMERGENCE James J. Bolton, PhD is the son of James M. Bolton and Claudia A. Bolton. He was born on January 12, 1977 in Chicago, IL and raised by his mother. He has four awe-inspiring siblings: Gwendolyn "G", Marliss "MarLa", Stephonie "Stell" and Corey "Vessel".
EDUCATION James graduated from Wiley College (Home of "The Great Debaters") in Marshall, TX and studied abroad in the Dominican Republic. He received his MS in Genetics and his Doctorate of Philosophy degree in Molecular Biology.
EMPLOYMENT After completing his tenure as a scientist stationed at Cornell University (Ithaca, NY), he was employed as a Forensic Biologist and opened his own business. He received the Outstanding Teacher of the Year nomination while employed at Georgia Gwinnett College! James is an author as well as a published researcher and scientific journal reviewer. He is presently working on co-authoring his second book, and has written the foreword to the acclaimed book, "Today's Prince, Tomorrow's King". James was selected by Wiley College to be interviewed by the Tom Joyner Morning Show, and writes a recurring inspirational thought for a film production company, TBProductions (www.tbproductions.net).

Dr. Bolton was the Motivational Lecturer for AG Week 2016 at Alabama A&M University, his alma mater. In 2017, Dr. Bolton was inducted into the National Society for Leadership and Success (NSLS). Dr. Bolton was inducted into Who's Who in Science and Education in 2020.
EVANGELISM Even though James is a Molecular Biologist by training and education, his passion is telling others about the love of God by teaching the Word of God. James has been involved in ministry for more than 18 years, and was ordained in 2000. He has been a Sunday School and Bible Study teacher, and has served as Singles Ministry Director. He volunteered every Thursday at a juvenile detention center, motivating the youth and offering them words of hope. He taught a 10-week Kingdom Builders Basics course, a component of the newly established Kingdom Builders Institute at CBC. James also taught a Wednesday Bible study on the campus of Cornell University. He is apart of the Gideons, and has been instrumental in passing out free Bibles all over the world. He has traveled internationally as a guest lecturer/teacher/revivalist. As a result of God's hand on his life, James has received many praise reports of healing, deliverance and restoration.
ECSTASY James is married and cherishes each moment spent with his family. James' favorite chapter in the Bible is Isaiah 12, and he strives daily to live by his favorite scripture, Colossians 3:17. During Black History Month, James was honored by the House of Hope-Atlanta as a Living Legend! When not involved in ministry work (The Ministry of James J Bolton, PhD), James delights in a (small) sausage pizza and ginger ale while watching a few episodes of the A-Team, Good Times or the first season of Diff'rent Strokes.
