Pastor Jack Wolfe

Pastor Jack has served 36 years in the ordained ministry of the United Methodist Church.

His goal as a person and minister is to know Christ and to make Him known.  Prayer is a big part of his life.  He feels his spiritual gifts are teaching and preaching and that his strengths include counseling and visiting. He is also a Christian painting enthusiast. 

Pastor Jack grew up near Wichita, Kansas on a wheat farm.  He majored in secondary education at Kansas State University and was active in Campus Crusade for Christ.  After graduating, he was a math and physics teacher.  He then went to Asbury Theological Seminary and was active in World Global Mission Ministry where he met his wife Bunny.  They both spent time as missionaries: Pastor Jack in Bolivia, South America and Bunny in Burundi, Africa.

Bunny grew up in southern Illinois and majored in English at Southern Illinois University.  She has taught junior high, high school, and adult education.   Bunny currently works at the Conference in Springfield as a Director of Missions and Outreach.  She is involved with several programs, including elder homes, children homes, disaster relief, and children in poverty.  She was recently involved with the Conference initiative that raised over 700,000 calling card minutes for soldiers in the Armed Services.  Bunny has also led groups of United Methodists to Liberia, totaling over 200 individuals to date.  These mission groups are helping to rebuild the country after several years of civil war. (Learn more about Illinois Great Rivers Conference and its partnership with Liberia.)

Pastor Jack and Bunny have two sons, Matthew and Aaron.  Matthew lives in Seattle, Washington with his wife, April, where they have started a home church and are both active in the fine arts events of the area.  Aaron is an English teacher in Flora, Illinois. 

Please be sure to introduce yourself to Pastor Jack and Bunny when you join us for worship! 

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Romans 10:17
