Before becoming a Minister of the Gospel, Rev. Jackson taught in the Canton Public School System for years. Other experience consists of working as Supervisor I, Madison County Food Stamp Office; Instructor at the Mississippi Baptist Seminary Extension; served for one year as Justice Court Judge, in Canton, Mississippi; Drug Coordinator for Canton Public School System; Moderator in the Madison Baptist Association; Executive Secretary of the General Missionary Baptist Convention of Mississippi, Inc.; served as President of the Mississippi Baptist Seminary; and was elected President of the General Missionary Baptist State Convention of Mississippi, Inc. in the July 2010 session.
