Deacon Jackie K. Schilling has dedicated her life to faith, community, and ministry. Born and raised in Waverly, Iowa, she brings a wealth of experience and compassion to her role at St. John Lutheran Church in Nashua. With 26 years of teaching experience in the Waterloo Community Schools, Jackie has a passion for education that extends beyond academics, as she seeks to foster spiritual growth.
In 2020, she began her ministry journey at Wartburg Theological Seminary, pursuing an Advanced Certificate in Diaconal Ministry. Her studies equipped her to serve others with empathy and understanding. On May 18, 2024, Jackie was ordained, affirming her commitment to God’s work. Her ministry at St. John Lutheran Church is marked by authenticity and a desire to bridge the gap between church and community. She believes that faith should permeate every aspect of life, and she lives out this belief through her service.
Jackie is married to Ronald Schilling and is a proud mother of four. Her ten grandchildren bring her immense joy. When not ministering, she enjoys spending time with her dogs, Giselle and Buddy, and finds solace in mowing the lawn—a simple yet meditative task.
