East Cleveland | Social Services
Reverend James H. Graham was raised in Cleveland, Ohio and graduated from Glenville High School. James became an ordained minister in 2016 and along with his wife, he co-founded the nonprofit Ease of Spirit Ministries of Hope in 2019 and committed himself to community service. During the pandemic, James distributed Covid PPEs, provided preventative education and held a wellness seminar for seniors to combat social isolation. In addition, his ministry provides grief and loss services, offers food to fight food insecurity and provides services to the homeless. However, his desire is to inspire and encourage the youth. Over the summer, James’ ministry held a large-scale Youth Summit to provide opportunities for self-expression through arts and communication. James attended Dartmouth College and, professionally, he has held multiple positions in the areas of finance, advertising and sales. Upon retirement in 2012, James entered the Johnnie Colemon seminary and became a licensed teacher. Rev. James is most proud of his 27 years of marriage, four wonderful children and co-founding Ease of Spirit Ministries of Hope.
