Pianist
Gloria Jackson
Gloria Jean Jackson began playing piano at Bonnie View Christian Church at the age of 14. She is still gracing us with her talent on the ebony and ivory keys. She attended Jarvis Christian College and received a Bachelor of Science degree in Education. She participated in graduate study programs at Southern Methodist University (SMU), North Texas State University, and Prairie View A&M University. She became a teacher and taught at Sequoyah Middle School and Edison Environmental Science Academy. She taught for 35 years and retired in 2000.
In 1965, she married Vernon Jackson. She has three children: Monique Durham, Stephen Jackson, and Simone Jackson. She grew up in Boll Street Christian Church, which later became Warren Avenue Christian Church. She transferred her membership to Bonnie View Christian Church when her mother married the late Rev. R.L. Sercy. Rev. Sercy founded East Side Christian Church, which would later become Bonnie View Christian Church.
Her love for Christ is evident in her diligence and dedication to her church family. She epitomizes the traits of a Christian woman and servant. We can never pay her enough for her time and talents, but we want to say thank you for all the years of service she has given to the ministries here at Bonnie View.
