Biography
Bishop Reginald Thomas Jackson (born April 26, 1954, Dover, Delaware) is the 132nd elected and consecrated bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Jackson is the husband of the late Christy Davis-Jackson, Esquire and the father of two children, daughter Regina Victoria Jackson and son Seth Joshua Jackson. Jackson received a bachelor’s degree in history from Delaware State University (Dover, Delaware) and a Masters of Divinity from the Interdenominational Theological Center (Atlanta, Georgia).
Jackson was assigned as the pastor of St. John AME Church, Jersey City, New Jersey, in 1979 and shortly thereafter, St. Matthew AME Church, Orange, New Jersey, in 1981. Under his ministry more than 3,000 people accepted Christ or joined the church.
As pastor of St. Matthew AME, the church developed more than 30 ministries that minister to the spiritual, emotional, educational, physical and financial needs of the church and community. Church ministries and administration are supported by a budget that has grown from $50,000 to almost $2,000,000. Because of the church’s growth a new edifice was built in 1985 and a second larger edifice in 2002. Known as “The Servant Church of the Oranges,” its doors are opened seven days a week and are a center of activity for church and community.
The RT. Rev. Reginald T. Jackson was elected and consecrated as the 132 bishop in the A.M.E. Church in 2012 at the 49th Quadrennial Session General Conference in Nashville, Tennessee. He was elected out of the First Episcopal District and stood on the platform: “Imagine the Church at Its Best” and “Strengthen Local Churches”! He currently presides over the Office of Ecumenical Affairs and is the presiding prelate of the 20th Episcopal District (Malawi, Zimbabwe) – along with Supervisor Christy Davis-Jackson.
