About Jack
Jack Jezreel received his B.A. degree in Religion and Philosophy from Furman University in 1979 and his Master of Divinity degree from the University of Notre Dame in 1982. From 1983-88, Jack was a member of a Catholic Worker community, during which time he helped supervise a soup kitchen and three hospitality houses for men and women who were homeless. Jack also became interested in sustainability issues and has been involved in organic agriculture since 1985.
“JustFaith Ministries was birthed in the effort to invite and prepare people of faith for the life-changing and world-changing call of the Gospel to help heal the world and, in so doing, experience a deeper faith, a more fulfilling life, and a community of care and vitality.”
Jack has worked for forty years in justice education. For eight of those years, Jack served as the Minister of Social Responsibility at Church of the Epiphany in Louisville, Kentucky where he first developed the original JustFaith program. During this time, he and his spouse, Maggie, also built a strawbale house in rural Kentucky and lived without running water, electricity or a telephone for several years while growing organic produce and raising three daughters.
In 1995, Jack received the Peace and Justice Award from the Archdiocese of Louisville, and in 2006 received the Roundtable of Social Action Directors’ Harry A. Fagan award for his “unique contribution to the Church’s mission.” In 2014 he received the Franciscan Mission Service’s Anselm Moons, OFM Award in recognition of his contributions to “the formation of new disciples for peace, justice and hope.”
Jack is the Founder of JustFaith Ministries, served as its first Executive Director and now serves as Senior Advisor. He is the author of numerous published articles and the book, “A New Way to Be Church.” He lives in Louisville, Kentucky, is married with Maggie, and they have three adult daughters and a grandson
