SPIRITUAL FORMATION
Get to know us better
A church isn’t its building, a church is its people.
If you want to know JupiterFIRST Church better, then the best way is to get to know our people!
Meet Lori
LMHC, CNHP
Hi, I am Lori Oberacker-Pardue. I have been a member of JFC for over 30 years. My roots grow deep here. My three children, Marc (age 32), Hana (age 31), and Luke (29) grew up in this church. I met my husband, Jack Pardue, here as well. My mother, Marie Oberacker, was also a long-time member.
As much as my family is a part of JupiterFIRST Church, the church is part of my family. My kids participated in Sunday School and Youth Group growing up and Hana was even the Interim Director of Youth Ministries for a year. My husband, Jack, is a member of the JupiterFIRST Singers. Me, well, I have worn many hats over the years – all very fashionable, of course.
