She is also a regular volunteer for the Brentwood Foodbank, leads a couple of ladies prayer groups and is a valuable member of the leadership team. Jackie is a great encourager and has a powerful prophetic edge to her ministry. As she prays and reads the Bible she frequently sends out timely, Spirit-led words to build others up in their faith. Jackie is naturally quiet but has proved to be a mighty woman of God, with a very solid foundation to her faith. She is married with two children and has two lively poodles to keep her busy.

Eric FenwickEric is the Minister of Hutton Free Church (HFC) and a member of Breakthru Church. Breakthru Church have a sharing agreement with HFC to share their building, now known as The Christian Centre, which is located in Hutton. Eric's Christian life began in an Assembly of God church many years ago, and so in joining the leadership team of Breakthru Church he feels that he has come full circle. HFC and Breakthru occasionally have joint services, and Eric's enthusiasm and initiative have been key to opening up the work for the two churches to work more closely together. Eric has a genuine Pastor's heart and an obvious love for people. He has a refreshing sense of wonder at the goodness of God that is infectious, and his catchphrase has become, "How amazing is that!" It is a real pleasure having him on the leadership team. CHURCH COUNCILBreakthru Church is a limited company and a registered charity.
