Jackie Fultz - Organist/Pianist
"I serve in the church because at the age of 8 I began to play the piano; at the age of 11 I began to play the organ. I did not have difficulty learning either instrument so my piano teacher, Mrs. Fetter told me that if it was easy for me, than I had been given a blessing by God and that I should return it to him in dedicated service. Mrs. Fetter was the wife of the local Lutheran pastor. I earned a college degree in music, taught at several schools and privately. I am registered in the archives of four churches; and whenever asked to share God’s blessing of music, I do. Aside from serving in the church, I teach piano, raise money for cancer research, read, garden, compose verse and music, knit, cross-stitch, and spend as much time as I can afford on the telephone with my five children who are scattered from the east coast to the west coast of the United States."

"I love serving God in the church and feel privileged to be serving in Woodville. I am married to Bethany and I am the proud father of a daughter Addie. These two girls are the loves of my life.

Locally, serve as chair of the Tyler County Adult Protective Services Advisory Board, member of the Tyler County Long Term Recovery Committee, and member of the board for the Tyler County Restorative Justice Service Center. I am a member of the Rotary Club of Woodville. I am rabid fan of the Houston Astros, Houston Texans, and sports at all levels. I am most of all a big Woodville Eagle fan. I enjoy reading, watching movies, attending sports games, spending time outdoors and most of all time with family."
