Our Team

Tom Jackson: Founder
Growing up reading about the need for the gospel in Eastern Europe through books like God's Smuggler, God called Tom to missionary life in Europe through a short-term missions trip in 1990. That trip sparked a church planting ministry in Ukraine and served as the catalyst for what has become CECP.
Dr. Tom and Jean live in Scotland. They have six daughters and two grandsons. Along with leading CECP, Tom pastors CentrePoint Church and travels extensively in Europe working with leaders and churches. -
