Steve Jackson - Certified IOTC Instructor

Mr. Jackson earned his bachelor of science degree in Civil Engineering from Purdue University in 1968, majoring in Structures with minors in Economics and Philosophy. He worked in Manned Space programs most of his professional career: Space Shuttle - Strength Analyst at Rockwell International; Space Station - Designer - a Principal Engineer/Scientist at McDonnell Douglas/Boeing; retired 2004.

His last six years at Boeing, he led a weekly “lunch-and-learn” study group titled “God and Country” under the sponsorship of the Boeing Christian Fellowship, and served on the BCF Board of Directors.

Mr. Jackson has owned the same home in Fountain Valley CA since 1973. He is married with five children and seven grandchildren.

Mr. Jackson became a Christian in 1970 and has since been active in church and other Christian activities. The Jacksons are members of Huntington Valley Baptist Church. Mr. Jackson assists their pastor in the pulpit on Sunday mornings, subs for him at Wednesday evening Prayer and Bible study when he is gone, and serves on the church’s leadership team and on the Board of Directors of Victory Ranch Christian Camp. He also serves on the board of the Orange County chapter of Eagle Forum.

He has been a volunteer instructor of Dr. John Eidsmoe’s Institute on the Constitution video series for 28 years, teaching adults to Jr. High. He taught IOTC in the 2013 spring semester at Calvary Chapel Bible College in Costa Mesa. He tutored a group of a dozen students, mostly 8th-graders, in U.S. History/Constitution at the SoCal Homeschool Co-op in the 2015-2016 school tear. He is a frequent speaker/lecturer on America’s Christian heritage for churches, clubs (SAR, DAR, etc.), pro-America groups (Tea Parties, Eagle Forum, the John Birch Society, Freedom Forum, etc.).

Mr. Jackson believes the Bible and our Declaration of Independence and Constitution are still the answers to America’s government problems. Jer. 6:16 - “Thus sayeth the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.”

Education is the key. It is vital that the “baton” of Faith and Freedom gets passed to the next generation. This can only be done if our youth learn accurate American history, including the biblical worldview of our Founders. Thus equipped, they will assume leadership roles in bringing America back to the good way
