Jessica and her husband, Kris Burke, are dynamic preachers and leaders at United Faith Church.

Their sermons speak of the uncompromising Word of God and its transforming power. They have partnered with Jessica’s parents, Pastors Jerry and Janeth Santiago, to maintain the vision their family has received from God for this church.

Together, this powerful couple also leads the church’s youth ministry. Having grown up together in the Lord since they were teenagers, they are passionate about teaching the youth to know and serve the Lord, by instilling a love for the Word. Their lives are a testimony to what power of God can do in young lives.

Jessica and Kris were married for nearly seven years before they felt God opening the door for them to start a family of their own. As a type 1 diabetic for most of her life, Jessica experienced a challenging pregnancy through which she and her husband fully relied on the wisdom and grace of God. Jessica has her Master’s Degree in Public Administration and worked for the Department of the Army for nine years. It was never her plan to be a stay at home mom, but for now God has called her out of work, and she has been home full time since the birth of their son, Joshua. Joshua is a great blessing to the church family and is a vibrant toddler full of smiles, who at just three years of age testifies to the faithfulness and goodness of God.

Joshua comes from a legacy of powerful preachers of the Gospel and is a 3rd Generation Christian in a line of faithful believers. Jessica and Kris have purposed in their hearts to teach their son Joshua to serve the Lord just as they do by raising him with biblical values and full acknowledgement of the Lord in their day to day activities.
