I just wanted to share some of my memories about  Jim Hagan.. Jim was a great 👍🏼 man of God!! And his wife Mary, she was always by his side.. great woman of God .. I will always remember when I had been  sitting in his car on our way to visit Cary, his son! And we were just talking along the way, and about God, and listening to a pastor on a tape he had?  I was asking questions about God’s word? And what some of the Scriptures meant in the Bible? He would explain to me in a way that I would understand what it meant? I never really knew? Specially growing up as a Catholic..  That very moment I was actually getting saved by the Lord Jesus Christ just by talking to Jim and listen to the tape of a Pastor?   I just started crying 😭 and I remember saying I didn’t know why I was crying and couldn’t stop!! That was a very special moment.. I started going to Friendship Assembly of God! And listen to Jim teach the word of God.. I always looked forward to going and learning more about God..And got into Bible studies, at the Church. I felt very Blessed 😇 to have known him for many years!! He has been not just my pastor? He was like a father to me!! And his Dear wife  Mary Hagan has  been like a mother to me..
I Went to retreats with her & the Church!! And gone on vacation with them! Greatest time ever for me…  Jim & Mary Hagan had done so much for me!!! I will always Appreciate what they have done for me when I needed it the most!! I will  not ever forget what they had done in my life..Jim & Mary will always have a special place in my heart… We prayed a lot together.. and for each other.  They  have done so much for other people! And in the Church!  I know he is dancing in Heaven with no more pain!! I look forward to see him and family members soon!!  Psalms 23…… you will be missed!! My thoughts & Prayers for Mary, Cary, Trey, Katie and the Grand kids and family!! God Bless all of you!!!

Here is a picture of Jim dedicating my daughter - his great niece Deanna. Jim has made a big difference in our family! What a blessing he has been to many. A man with a Pastors Heart. He loved and served God and people! He will be missed !

Pastor jim Hagan such a man of God. He and Mary such a big part of our lives. I remember I was in the hospital for 3 months with my first pregnancy because I had a kidney transplant and I was having complications.  I was going into labor at 30 or 32 weeks and I called Pastor Hagan he was there in just a few minutes, he prayed and the labor stopped.  The nurses wanted to hire him full time because that did not usually happen!  😊😊😊🤣. What a testimony to our living God. He dedicated our children, officiated my Moms funeral,  Richs dad funeral.  Many times he called me out of the congregation to have the whole church pray for my health condition. There is so much more!! Such a giving man through the years.  Well done good and faithful servant.  Below are some pictures I could find. Wish I could have found more

Looking back over many years, the Hagan and Bennett families have  always been connected. I remember when the Hagan family came to the Knob Hill Assembly of God Church in Colorado Springs where my Dad pastored. One by one, several of Jim’s family members came to the church, and became an integral part of our church family. Jim and Mary dedicated their lives to Christian service early on. They have been faithful and committed to Christ since those early days. We admire Mary’s support in every aspect of Jim’s ministry. Even during Jim’s years of bad health, Jim still served those in need, as Mary, Cary, and Trey, patiently waited and prayed Jim would slow down and take care better care of himself. We are thankful for the love and friendship of Jim and Mary, Cary, and Trey.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. Being part of God’s family is absolute and we bid Jim a temporary farewell for now. We look forward to Heaven where we will meet again!  Jim will definitely be missed by many. We appreciate his service and commitment to God; we are thankful for his service to the Colorado Springs Police Dept and the entire Colorado Springs community.

My son, Silas, got to meet Pastor Hagan shortly before he went to be with the Lord. My son adored him and I am so grateful we got to spend that special time with him and say our final goodbye. We love you and will dearly miss you Pastor. Watch over us as our guardian angel now ❤️

Pastor Hagan was a very special man to our family. His passion about Christ and the truth he spoke in church led me to fall in love with Christ growing up. He was always such a genuine and loving man. I feel so honored that he agreed to marry my husband and me. I will forever cherish the memories I have with him ❤️

I remember Jim and Mary from when I was in high school. It was around 1965. They lived in the cottage behind Wilford and Loraine's house on Bennett Street. Dave Fryer and I would spend hours in the garage attached to their cottage and play ping pong. Sometimes Jim would join us. I don't think I ever won against Jim. But I had such a good time when I played him. He was always laughing and joking.  I enjoyed his company!! Even when losing to him! I will always remember what a fine person he was. He was and will be remembered as ONE OF THE TRUELY GOOD PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD! The world was a better place with Jim in it!!! I will miss him!!!

Our heartfelt condolences on the passing of James. His friendship, mentoring and being our Pastor will forever be a part of our family, and his memory will live on in our hearts forever.  From Knob Hill through Friendship, Fifty+ years in the making

Tonia & I served  under Pastor Hagan as Youth Pastors from 1998 - 2001, & then Youth, Young Adults & College & Career Pastors from 2007 - 2012.  Jim Hagan left a tremendous legacy of generosity & a genuine heart for missions.

He wasn’t just my pastor but was a father to me for many years.  I would not be who I am today if it wasn’t for Jim & Mary taking me to and from my school and making sure I came to church whenever possible.  My family & I will miss him dearly.  Praying for comfort for Mary and the whole family. ❤️

Blessings upon Sister Mary Lou and family. Pastor Jim was my pastor in my late teens and early twenties and I profited from his wisdom, humor and dedication to the Lord. He never compromised his faith or his values. He was always there for me and I am grateful. Pastor Jim later married my wife and I and we are still married today. Well done and glory to God.

My condolences to the family.  Jim was our pastor for many years.  He will be missed.

My condolences to the family on the loss of Jim, he was a wonderful person.
I pray that the Lord will comfort you and give you peace during this difficult time.

My deepest condolences to Mary and the family. I've known Pastor Hagen since 1999. He had a very kind heart, eager to support in any way he could. He was my biggest cheerleader to pursue college education and get a degree.  He was at my UCCS graduation. Then, when I was getting my citizenship, Pastor Hagen personally drove me and my sister to the ceremony, being so happy for me. He and Mary were at my wedding, as well. I have fond memories of him... May the Lord comfort Mary and the family.

So sorry to hear of Jim's passing.  Love and prayers to the family. 
I have so many fond memories of Jim and Mary from high school, church and youth group. Also C.A. rallies in other towns and renting a bus sometimes to take our entire youth group to Pueblo or Canon City etc. We would sing all the down and back...poor bus drivers. When I first got my driver's permit, Jim and Mary would come by my house and take me for driving lessons...taught me to drive! Good times!! Marsha (Allen) Horn

James E. Hagan, "Jim" was born in Brush Colorado on February 2, 1944, to Raymond and Josephine Hagan, one of eight children.  He was a hard  worker almost from the day he was born, shining shoes at the age of 6 in downtown Denver.  He had two long careers that he loved as a Sergeant with the Colorado Springs Police Department, with his two favorite memories of guarding President Bush Sr. and President Reagan. He also loved being the Pastor of the church he founded, Friendship Assembly of God, in Colorado Springs.  He retired there after 36 years due to a liver disease.

Most of all, he was the best husband, father, and papa in the world.  He leaves behind his wife Mary, his sons Cary and Trey, and three wonderful grandchildren; Katie, Cameron, and Shaun, and one wonderful great grandson Tristan, all of Colorado Springs.
