The Rev. Andre Jefferson Jr. began his ministry in August of 2014 at Bethel A.M.E. Church, Hampton, Va. where his father Rev. Andre Jefferson Sr. serves as Pastor. At Bethel A.M.E. Church, he served as the Praise and Worship Leader, Youth Mentor, YPD Member, Youth and Young Adult Choir Member, Jr. Usher, Acolyte Guild, and as a Vacation Bible School Teacher. His work in the church affirmed his calling, as well as his educational needs. After obtaining his Bachelor of Music education from ODU in 2016 he wasted no time and began his graduate studies that same summer in 2016.
He obtained his Master of Divinity from Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology completing the program in 2019 and earning the “John Malcus Ellison Academic Excellence” Award. While in graduate school he met the love of his life Rev. Tiffany (Lee) Jefferson. They were married in August of 2020 and welcomed their first child Jordan Lionel Jefferson December 2, 2022.
This conference year Rev. Jefferson celebrates his eighth year in ministry and his seventh year in pastoral ministry. He served at two AME Churches prior to his current pastorate. Macedonia A.M.E Church in Accomac, VA. and New Allen Memorial A.M.E. Church in Franktown, Va. He currently serves as the very proud pastor of New Mt. Olive A.M.E. Church in Chesapeake, Va.
Rev. Jefferson is guided by his favorite scripture in all that he does. 1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I but the grace of God that is with me. His sincerest desire is to reflect the grace of God that has been placed over his life.
