Meet the Jacksons

We are Jared and Emily Jackson, married since 2011 with three children: Lively (6), Honor (3), and Alexander "Lex" (1). Emily works as a Nurse Practitioner, and we enjoy books, outdoors, game nights, coffee and travel. After coming to UTA in 2008 and spending 15 years in ministry, God is calling us to plant Legacy Church in North Arlington, where over 250,000 people still need a church home. We'd love for you to join us on this journey.

We are a part of a long legacy

We're part of the timeless faith community—believers who ran with endurance and fought the good fight. Surrounded by a "cloud of witnesses" (Hebrews 12:1-2), their legacy inspires us to press forward, knowing our faithfulness today will influence generations to come.

We are continuing a legacy

We continue Christ's mission by making disciples (Matthew 28:19), living gospel-worthy lives (Philippians 1:27), and passing our faith to future generations (Psalm 145:4). This ensures God's legacy flourishes beyond us, creating an unbroken chain of gospel witness in our community.
