As a Pastor and Bible teacher, Bro. Jacky Connell has been teaching God's word for over twenty years. Church members started requesting tapes of the messages, and soon requests began to grow to the point that we knew God was leading us into a wider ministry. The effectiveness of JC Impact Ministries has been an exciting thing for us, because it is right in line with our commitment and calling to preach the gospel to everyone.

Rev. Jacky Connell, (pictured) Pastor/ Teacher of JCImpact Ministries, is one of the most loved, God fearing men of integrity. He is devoted to his family, husband to his high school sweetheart, Denise, father of two wonderful girls.
Under his leadership Eden Westside has grown from less than 36 active members in 1987 to 1800 members today. As lives are changed through salvation and restoration you can see God working through Rev. Connell's leadership. His desire is to be in the will of God in every aspect of the ministry. He strives to train leaders to do the great commission. And by being the Godly example for everyone in his personal daily life he is encouraging others in reaching people for Christ. God has richly blessed Eden Westside and is continuing to do so every day.
