Bachelor of Arts degree in Theology.

Adventist Church, ordained in 1978 and serving in multiple states including
California, North Carolina, Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. He retired
December 31st 2007 and settled in Camden, Arkansas with his wife Lillian

for Jesus from the pulpit of the surrounding churches. Even though Jack’s
ministry spanned from coast (New Bern, NC) to coast (Thousand Oaks, CA) he
called Fort Worth, TX his home.
