Reverend Dr. Kevin M. Jackson, a proud native of Montgomery, Alabama, has dedicated his life to serving God, country, and community through pastoral leadership, education, and military service. Dr. Jackson is the former pastor of Mt. Sinai Holy Church in Kinston, NC. During his leadership a robust drug support program, youth programs, and several community outreach programs were developed. His efforts along with his ministry team made significant contributions to the community and specifically the lives of the over 50 young people who were actively involved with the ministry. Many of those young men and women are ministry leaders, military members, and productive citizens of their local communities.

Dr. Jackson also served as principal and science instructor for Faith Academy School of Excellence during 2001-2015. He taught middle school and high school science courses. Over the years many of his students have gone forth to become doctors, lawyers, pastors, teachers, business owners, military members, and so many more professions. Dr. Jackson’s investment in the lives of young people has been significant and rewarding.

As a Lieutenant Commander and Active Duty Chaplain in the United States Navy, he provides vital spiritual care and guidance to service members across the globe.

He has endeavored to bring what matters, where it matters, when it matters, with the help of Jesus Christ to those who are in crisis or in need.

In addition to his military chaplaincy, Dr. Jackson is the founder and teacher of Ministry Moments, a virtual evangelistic ministry committed to promoting discipleship and holistic wellness. Through innovative online platforms, he continues to make a lasting impact on countless lives.

Dr. Jackson’s passion for education is equally evident in his academic work. He serves as an adjunct faculty member at Hampton University School of Religion and as an adjunct professor at Barber-Scotia College School of Divinity, preparing the next generation of faith leaders with excellence and purpose.
