William H. Jackson, Senior Pastor: William H. Jackson was a founding member of the Word of Life Worship Center in Kansas City, Missouri and accepted the call to ministry in 1997. He preached his first sermon in December of that year. On March 26, 2000 during a prophetic move of the Holy Spirit during the morning worship service, Pastor Jackson received and accepted the call to pastor. He continued to labor in the ministry, serving his leadership to the best of his ability for another 8 years before leaving his church home of 13 years. He accepted the position of Youth Pastor for New Vision Christian Church, in Kansas City, Missouri and served there building and developing the youth department for 2 ½ years. It was in October of 2010 that Pastor Jackson was approached about the possibility of becoming the pastor of a church plant in Kansas City through the Foursquare Church. After prayer and discussion with his family, he accepted this door that the Spirit of the Lord was opening for Him and on January 1, 2011, the Faith Center was born.

The significance in the name of the church being entitled "The Faith Center" stems from a time in which Pastor Jackson believed God beyond all reasonable hope for the Lord to move on his behalf. While up early one morning in prayer, the Spirit of the Lord spoke to Pastor Jackson saying, “You are a man of faith. How can I deny you of what you ask?” That very day, what Pastor Jackson had continued to believe God would do on the behalf of his family came to pass. It is this conviction to believe God “no matter how it appears” that serves as the foundation for the Faith Center. The Holy Spirit provided clear direction for Pastor Jackson in regards to the focus and direction of The Faith Center. God simply directed Pastor Jackson to "teach My people how to believe Me". Pastor Jackson is determined to fulfill this mandate of God, and bring God's people into the fullness of who they were created to be.

Pastor Jackson has been married to First Lady Kimberly C. Jackson for 20 years and they have 4 children, with 2 children from their union. They have known one another since their days in high school where they were members of the same graduating class and have been friends for over 30 years. Pastor Jackson is thankful for having his best friend as not only his wife, but his co-laborer in ministry. He attended Pittsburg State University (Pittsburg, KS) majoring in Construction Management. He has undergone extensive training and education in ministry including attending and completing course programs at Word of Life Bible College and Mid-America Theological Seminary.
