A Glimpse into The Future

I am very excited about what the future holds for Crossroads Christian Center! Alisa and I had the chance to meet with Pastor Joel Brooks, Pastor of Christian Life Center (http://christianlifectr.org/. They have more than 30 nationalities represented in their church. I have been to their service. They are truly a multi-cultural church. I am looking forward to our visit there on April 20th. I think it will be a glimpse into the direction we are moving.

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.
