Bruce Ward

Bruce has been married to his wife Jacki since 2013. They met online while living in New Jersey and now have three children; Killian, Chiara, and Twila. Parenting has been a fun adventure since 2017 and they each bring into it a blessed lack of knowledge and understanding of the opposite sex. Jacki grew up with 2 sisters, while Bruce grew up with 4 brothers. Bruce and Jacki enjoy social gatherings, especially in their home, are self-proclaimed foodies, and love meeting new people as well as spending time with those they already know and love. Whether it’s over a delicious home cooked meal (both Bruce and Jacki love to cook), or at a local restaurant, one of their favorite past-times is laughing and connecting over a meal. Bruce and Jacki love to travel and adventure together. Their preferred vacation is on a cruise ship going to many different destinations while unplugging from the world. They did enjoy spending time in Italy with Jacki’s extended family in 2019, however, and have plans to venture to every continent (except Antarctica) some day and visit the many places represented in their heritages together. Bruce has been the lead pastor at Antrim BIC since November 2024. He has previously served in churches in West Virginia, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Bruce has a passion for disciple-making and community. He is a person of many passions and hobbies including roasting his own coffee, smoking tons of meat, computers, kayaking, outdoor sports, tabletop games, among others. Jacki has a degree in Psychology and has been a stay-at-home mom since 2017. She tries to maintain sanity by sunbathing as often as possible, but also enjoys photography and spending time with friends and family. Bruce and Jacki enjoy living life together with their three children and enjoy a light-hearted approach to life, as can be evidenced by the many pranks posted on social media!
