Pastor Jackson, a devout follower of Christ and a herald of the Gospel, has led a life marked by deep faith and exemplary leadership. After receiving his Bachelor's in Biblical Studies and Organizational Leadership from Trinity International University, he embraced the biblical truth that "the fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom" (Proverbs 9:10), ensuring that his foundation in both education and life was firmly rooted in reverence for God.
He further honed his leadership skills and deepened his understanding of ethical stewardship through an MBA from Indiana Wesleyan University, living by the adage, "whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters" (Colossians 3:23).
In 2008, Pastor Jackson answered a profound call to shepherd his home congregation at New Shiloh Missionary Baptist
Church. His pastoral calling has been a fulfillment of the promise found in Jeremiah 3:15, "And I will give you shepherds
after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding." Since then, he has led his flock with the
wisdom and grace that only comes from a life dedicated to serving God and his community.
During his tenure as President of the Baptist Minister Conference in Gary, Indiana, Pastor Jackson demonstrated the
heart of a servant leader, embodying the teachings of 1 Peter 5:2-3 to "shepherd the flock of God...being examples to
the flock." His role as Finance Chair for the General Indiana Missionary Baptist Convention was marked by his
commitment to integrity and prudence, a testament to his steadfast faithfulness in managing God’s resources.
As Vice President of the Congress of Christian Education within the Northern Indiana Missionary Baptist District
Association, he has championed Christian education, understanding that knowledge in Christ is vital for growth and
prosperity in the spiritual journey, as emphasized by Hosea 4:6.
Pastor Jackson's personal life is as rich and fulfilling as his spiritual mission. He shares his life with his beloved wife, Robin
Jackson. Together, they have raised two children, Kenneth Whisenton and Kendall Jackson, instilling in them the values
of faith, hope, and love. Their family is completed by their cherished fur babies, Blanco and Capone, who add joy and
companionship to their home.
Pastor Jackson's service to God and his people continues to be inspired by the strength and assurance found in Isaiah
40:31: "those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength; they will soar on wings like eagles." His journey is a living
testimony to the abiding presence of God in his life and the lives of those he touches through his ministry.
