Please Join Me on Sunday, May 25th

Wow! That is the one word that comes to mind when I reflect on my career at Second Missionary Baptist Church, and as I gaze into the future of Crossroads Christian Center. Those of you who know me personally know that I entered Second Baptist a sheep (really a lost sheep), but as I approach my last week of any official role at Second Baptist, I leave there a shepherd. I am very appreciative of many people at Second Baptist who have poured words of encouragement, acts of kindness, and prayers into my life. At the top of that list is none other than Pastor A. P. Williams. He has truly been a mentor and spiritual father to me. He will always be my Pastor, and I will forever be grateful to him.

For those of you who live in the Jackson area, I ask you to join me next Sunday at 11am when I will be sharing these thoughts and others during my last sermon as an Associate Minister at Second Baptist Church. Above all, please keep our family in your prayers as we bring one chapter in our life to a close, and begin a new chapter full of the greatness that God has promised in His Word.

Tony's Bio

Tony Jackson was born in Muskegon, Michigan, and moved to Jackson, Michigan upon his graduation from Western Michigan University in 1990. While at WMU, he met the former Alisa Suddeth who he married in 1992. Tony is a devoted husband and father of four, Shakia, Adrienne, Tony II, and Christopher.

In May of 1995, Tony accepted Christ as his personal Lord and Savior, and united with Second Missionary Baptist Church under the pastoral care of Rev. A. P. Williams. Tony immediately began working in the church serving as a Trustee and Treasurer until he accepted God’s call into the ministry. In March of 2002, Tony was licensed as a Gospel Minister. He was ordained three years later in March of 2005. Tony continued to serve as an Associate Minster under the guidance and mentorship of Pastor Williams.

During his tenure as an Associate Minister, Tony has served in various capacities within the ministry including teaching the Young Adult Sunday School as well as performing the duties of Sunday School Superintendent and Director of Christian Education. The Lord has given Tony a passion for sharing the gospel with the youth. Under the direction of the Holy Spirit and Pastor Williams, Tony was instrumental in starting the Extreme Church Youth Ministry at Second Missionary Baptist Church as well as Men Helping Men’s Ministry.

After much deliberation and prayer, Tony accepted the Lord’s call to launch a new multi-cultural, purpose driven church in Jackson. After receiving the blessing of Pastor Williams, he began organizing Crossroads Christian Center in February, 2008.

Tony is currently working towards a Master’s and Doctorate of Ministry Degrees at Andersonville Theological Seminary. He is also the owner of a State Farm Insurance Agency, where he has been blessed to be among the top agencies in the nation.
