As a family, the McLeans enjoy the simple things, going to church, watching movies, going to the park and swimming. They attend Church of God in Baldwinsville, New York. Through everything, their faith in the Lord has remained strong and unwaivering. Jessica and Mac truly and faithfully believe that one day,  Jack will be a walking testimony of their faith in the Lord.
