Joe and Jackie have been music ministers for over 45 years, singing and playing guitar at church services, weddings, baptisms, funerals and other events. When their ministry began, their pastor suggested that music leaders were not performers or the entertainers for Sunday morning services. Rather, the role of leading music is to move the congregation through song, to a deeper place spiritually that brings them closer to our Savior. Their music is kept simple by design and filled with emotion.

Joe & Jackie are originally from southwest Wisconsin and have been in Marshfield since 2017.  Jackie is a Nurse Practitioner and Joe has spent many years in the hearth and fireplace industry. They have two daughters and a son and love spending time with their grandson and 5 granddaughters.
