Rev.
Zina Jacque is the founder of the Pastoral Counseling Center of Trinity

a place to come and receive quality counseling from mental health professionals
in an atmosphere that honors and utilizes faith as one of the tools to
achieve a healthy mental state. She is also on the pastoral staff of the
Calvary Baptist Church where the Rev. Dr. Gregory Thomas is the pastor.
Until recently Rev. Jacque served as the Protestant Chaplain for Bentley

Zina Jacque is a teacher, pastor, facilitator, consultant, administrator,
and collaborator. But more importantly that anything else, more important
than titles, more important than accomplishments and achievements she
wants the church to know she loves the Lord. As her signature God gave
her John 15:16, "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed
you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will
give you whatever you ask in my name." Praise the Lord.
