About Me

Pastor  | Philanthropist  |  Visionary

Jennifer R. Biard is the Senior Pastor of Jackson Revival Center Church, a rapidly growing nondenominational, ethnically diverse congregation in Jackson, MS. She was ordained as a Minister of the Gospel in 1996, licensed in 1998, and has devoted the majority of her life to providing people with tools and resources that encourage and inspire them towards wholesome, transformational living.

Prior to her role as Senior Pastor, Jennifer served as Assistant Pastor to her father, Raymond O. Biard, the founding pastor of Jackson Revival Center. It was then that she honed her abilities as a manager and administrator, skillfully navigating multiple projects and learning the behind the scenes operation of the church.

Outside of the pulpit, Jennifer has spent her time philanthropically, developing multiple organizations that further accomplish the mission of transforming lives including Little Ambassadors Developmental Learning Center, a preschool for inner city children; Hearts of Compassion Independent Living for Seniors, inspired by the vision of her mother Dorothy L. Biard; and the Corporation for Global Community Development, a nonprofit organization designed to promote the growth and development of low to moderate income individuals and communities throughout the state of Mississippi.

Pastor Jennifer has served on a variety of boards and councils including the BancorpSouth Community Reinvestment Advisory Council and as chairman of the Mayor’s Faith-Based Advisory Council with the aim of finding common ground to achieve uncommon goals. Beyond the recognition and achievements, Jennifer is simply a woman driven to love God and to love people.

Pastor

As the Senior Pastor of Jackson Revival Center Church, Jennifer connects with people from all walks of life. Each week is a new opportunity for her to affect change in men, women and children as she not only delivers the Word of God from the pulpit, but also relates to the congregation personally. Caring for the body and witnessing God’s transformative work is one of her greatest joys.

Philanthropist

Jennifer has always been a giver at heart, and the doors God has opened within the last few years have allowed her philanthropic efforts to grow at an increasing pace. In 2007, she founded the Corporation for Global Community Development, a nonprofit organization designed to promote the growth and development of low to moderate income individuals and communities. Through a variety of strategic partnerships and collaborations, Jennifer has directly and indirectly afforded housing and employment opportunities, health and wellness initiatives, and educational resources to countless individuals.

Visionary

“Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Proverbs 29:18a

Just as God gave vision to many of the prophets of old, He has likewise given Jennifer vision to see beyond what is and rally those around her to create that which was not. She continues to tread uncharted territory, allowing her faith to lead the way and trusting God to order her steps. With the support of the people, Jennifer is determined to leave a lasting impact and fulfill the great commission:

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 NIV
