                      Wednesday, December 3, 2025

  Mr. KENNEDY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 
remarkable leadership and service of Pastor Paul Jackson as we honor 
his spiritual guidance at Jefferson Avenue Community Church. Pastor 
Jackson's influence extends far beyond the walls of the church, making 
a lasting impact on the lives of those in need.
  As a proud Western New York native, Pastor Jackson was raised with 
the strong support of his family from the very beginning, helping to 
shape him into a natural leader in all aspects of his life. After 
graduating from Emerson High School, where he excelled academically, 
Pastor Jackson answered the call to begin his spiritual journey at 
Moody Bible Institute, Pentecostal Temple Bible Institute, and later 
earned his Bachelor's degree in Ministry from Antioch Bible College.
  Pastor Jackson is supported by his beloved wife, First Lady Vivian 
Ann Jackson. Together, they have formed a family grounded in faith with 
the addition of the `'second love of their lives'', Bridgette Nicole 
Jackson. Their marriage exemplifies the strength found in a family that 
prays and worships together. Pastor Jackson has made a priority of 
reaching out to his community, serving as the Spiritual Advisor for the 
Canisius High School football team for nearly two decades.
  As we celebrate Pastor Jackson's unwavering dedication, let us 
recognize the countless lives he has touched and the profound impact he 
has made at Jefferson Avenue Community Church and beyond. Pastor 
Jackson's service is a blessing, and we look forward to many more years 
of his inspired leadership.
