OUR TEAM.
Nathan and Nicole Jackson
Meet our Pastor and Creative Director:
Pastor Nathan was born and raised in DuQuoin, IL and has always had a huge heart for its people. Nathan and Nicki were dating when Vision Church was born, but together they followed God's leading for a plant in Southern, IL. They were married one year after planting in Vision Church's worship center. While Nathan is the lead pastor and Shepherd of our church family, Nathan and Nicki are a team determined to live out the great commission in earnest (Matthew 28:19). Nicki serves as the Creative Director of Vision Ministries, overseeing areas of worship and church events/missions. Both Nathan and Nicki have a desire to see our city and the world come to know the grace and hope we have in Christ. Nathan and Nicki live in DuQuoin with their 4 year old son Graham and their new daughter Ella. They also have a dog named Kylo and a cat named Barry. |
Kailah Kelly
Meet our Vision Kids Director:
Kailah is a Du Quoin native who is passionate about the youth in our area. From leading our Vision Kids to Jesus, coaching the high school speech team, and being the high school theater director she loves to see kids grow and find joy. When she isn’t pouring into our local youth you can find her on a road trip to visit friends and family or grabbing mexican with a friend. To know Kailah is to know how passionate she is about Jesus and leading our kiddos to Him. We are grateful to have her and we can’t wait to see what God continues to do in Vision Kids! |

Caleb and Maribeth Trexler will be celebrating 15 years of marriage next month. They live in Herrin with their three kids; Kylie, Kenzie, and Kayden. They both work in the local education system and have a passion for helping youth find their purpose.
