Trinity
CME Church welcomes their new pastor,
Reverend Rutha M. Jackson. Rev. Jackson, a native of
Warner
Robins, Ga., has been married to
Clarence Jackson for almost thirty-five years. They have three
children, Nikesha, Michelle, and Kimbria Jackson, who
resides in Atlanta, Ga.
Rev. Jackson
earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Middle Grades
Education from Fort Valley State and at present, teaches
sixth-grade classes at
Warner
Robins Middle
School. She was nominated for and listed in Who’s Who
Among Outstanding American Teachers in 2004 and 2005 and
will be featured in Who’s Who Among Women for the year
2006-2007.
A member of the
United States Air Force Reserve for 26 years, Rev.
Jackson is an in-residency graduate of the Senior
Non-Commissioned Officer Leadership School in
Maxwell, Alabama. She now holds
the rank of Senior Master Sergeant and is serving with
the 78th Mission Support Squadron, Personnel
Group Readiness Section, Robins Air force Base,
Warner
Robins,
Georgia.
In addition to
graduating from Phillips School of Theology in
Atlanta, Ga. with a Masters of Divinity
in May of this year, Rev. Jackson is historically known
throughout the
CME Church for rebuilding
Oak Grove Memorial Church on
Elko
Road in
Perry, Ga., the only church destroyed
by arson in Georgia in 1997, as well as being the only
Georgia case that was tried in the Federal Court System
in that year.
Rev. Jackson’s
intentions are to make the city of
Macon “a more viable, disciplined,
and efficient area for all those who seek aid in any
way.” To do
so, she plans to tap other resources throughout the city
and state.
Her vision for Trinity
CME is to teach the Bible to all
ages, to reach out to the unfortunate, feed the hungry,
and stretch out across racial lines. “This is what
Jesus would do for His people,” she
says.
Rev. Jackson’s
favorite Bible passage is Isaiah 61:1 – “The Spirit of
the Lord is upon me.” She is motivated
and determined to do greater works for God. In addition, she
is a trailblazer and her strides in ministry have been
phenomenal.
She considers her motto to be “dedication,
commitment, and
perseverance.”
Rev. Jackson would like to invite
one and all to worship with her and her congregation at
the following location and times.
