Rev. Jeff Jackson

• Our Interim Minister Rev. Jeff Jackson joined us on October 5th, 2025. 

Rev. Jeff Jackson serves as the Interim Minister at Brecksville United Church of Christ. He has most recently served First Congregational Church of Akron, Pilgrim Congregational Church in Tremont, and St. John’s UCC in Dover. With many years of experience in pastoral leadership and intentional interim ministry, Jeff brings a steady, thoughtful presence to times of transition. He holds a deep appreciation for the stories that shape a congregation’s identity and a passion for helping communities listen for where God’s Spirit is leading next.

Jeff approaches ministry as a shared journey of faith—rooted in grace, enlivened by curiosity, and grounded in hope. He believes the church is most alive when it welcomes and affirms the full, diverse breadth of human experience and seeks to embody Christ’s love through justice, compassion, and joy. In worship and in daily life, Jeff values honest conversation, creative expression, and the sacred work of growing together in love. Outside of ministry, he enjoys exploring local coffee shops, cheering on Cleveland sports, uncovering small wonders on the roads less traveled, and time with his wife, family, and beloved dogs.
