Jackie has been married to Arnie for 45 years, and together they have two children and six grandchildren. They are retired and spend their time volunteering, gardening, helping with their grandkids, and traveling. Jackie has been at IBC for 17 years and has served in a variety of ministries including the Sunday night meal team, Recovery ministry, Kids ministry, and Stephen ministry. She is currently a greeter at the 9 a.m. worship service, a co-leader for Women’s Bible Study, and on the Prayer team. Over her life she has seen the miracle of prayer and the impact of people praying during many difficult situations — leading to her passion for prayer and involvement in the prayer ministry at IBC. Jackie also volunteers for Meals on Wheels and loves getting to know the meal recipients and loving on them when she can. Her favorite pastime is spending time with family, cooking for them and being involved in their lives. She and her husband enjoy the beach and the mountains and go as often as they can. Jackie’s heart as a deacon is to partner with people who need hope, encouragement, and someone to help them see the reality of how much Jesus loves and cares for them.
