Our Core Team
Rev. Aaron Eime has served with Christ Church and CMJ in Jerusalem for 20 years as the Director of the Heritage Centre at Christ Church. For the last ten years, he has also served as an Anglican Deacon of Christ Church Jerusalem. Aaron has a Masters degree in Early Jewish and Christian Interpretation of the Bible from Hebrew University, giving him a background in the Hebraic roots of Christianity. In April of 2015, the previous CMJ Director Don Stanley asked Aaron to change his focus for the Mission: to build Alexander College (ABLC) and to get as much educational material in print and online as possible. Rev. Eime’s teachings bring to light the Hebrew foundation of God’s Word to fully reveal His-story as one narrative, richly lined with Hebraic connectedness that will enrich each student as they study and learn to teach His Word.
