Dr. Samuel Jackson Jr.

Senior Pastor

Dr. Samuel Jackson Jr. is the Senior Pastor and Founder of Freedom of Grace Full Gospel Church located in Chicago Heights, Illinois and  Samuel & Vedia Jackson Ministries.
Pastor Sam has been mandated to raise up a church that is relationship and family oriented. To equip the body of Christ in doing the work of serving others with the love of God, bringing freedom to the lost, freedom from legalism through the preaching and teaching of the gospel of grace to those that hunger and thirst for righteousness, and for a relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord.
It is with this desire and heart that Pastor Sam along with his wife Pastor Vedia began to carry out the call, which God placed upon his life to pastor in the Chicago land area. Although Pastor Sam's call is both local and national, his desire and vision is international, to touch the world with the Gospel of Grace.
