Jimmy Hinton, M.Div

Researcher & Trainer | Minister — Somerset Church of Christ in Somerset, PA

Jimmy Hinton, M.Div, is a 2007 graduate of Harding School of Theology and Jack P. Lewis Ministry of Study Award recipient. He is the full time minister at the Somerset Church of Christ in Somerset, PA, where he has served since 2009. Jimmy grew up in Shanksville, PA, just one mile from where United 93 crashed on September 11, 2001. In 2011, a young woman confided in Jimmy that she had been sexually abused when she was a young child by Jimmy’s father, the former minister of 27 years at the Somerset Church of Christ. Jimmy reported his father to authorities which resulted in his confession of 23 victims and a conviction of 30-60 years in Pennsylvania state corrections facility. Jimmy, who is collaborating with neuroscientists Dr. Stephen Macknik and Dr. Susana Martinez-Conde, focuses his research and training on deception techniques of skilled abusers who molest children in plain sight. Jimmy is a certification specialist with G.R.A.C.E (Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment). Jimmy developed a unique facility walkthrough where he demonstrates techniques sex offenders use in churches to molest children while remaining undetected. The facility walkthrough also assesses which areas are the highest risk areas within the building. Jimmy also developed a one of a kind 20 point Predator Recognition Tool, designed to help identify high risk individuals that otherwise would go undetected. Because he is a minister, has reported his father, walked a church through the aftermath of abuse, and focuses his research on understanding pedophiles, his trainings will continue to be relevant for churches who either need to consult in the wake of abuse or are looking to have the best training available to prevent it from happening. The Bible is the foundation for Jimmy’s research, and his training teaches people to understand God’s intolerance for abuse, his justice, and his merciful heart toward the oppressed and wounded.
