I was born in the U.S. Naval Hospital, at the Naval Base Port Hueneme, Ventura County, State of California.  My education was achieved in California and Europe.  My most recent was at the University Sacramento, while serving as a Civil Servant.  During which I received several commendations and awards, including but not limited to a Presidential Citation for my work with U.S. Veterans and the people at large in the State of California.

Fr. Jeffrey Hall graduated from The Diocesan School of Theology, located in Seattle, Washington in 1993.

1992 – 1995 – On-call Trauma Chaplain for Harbor View Medical Center – Seattle, Washington

In 1997, completed studies with Anglican Institute of Affirmative Christian Studies to prepare for Ordination to Deacon April 19, 1997 with subsequent Ordination to the priesthood following on September 27, 1997.

I was born and raised in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and I grew up in a Christian home. Having confessed my faith in Christ at an early age, I committed my life to ministry at the age of sixteen and pursued an education in theology and ministry. I have been married to my wonderful wife, Donna for thirty years, and we have four grown children, and one grandchild. I served as a pastor of Baptist churches for over twenty years in Oklahoma and Texas, however, my theology became more sacramental and I sought a place of ministry where I could serve and be true to my convictions. In 2014, I was ordained as a deacon and then as a priest in apostolic succession as part of The International Free Protestant Episcopal Church, which was part of the Anglican Free Communion. In 2018, this jurisdiction had become very small and the bishop dissolved it. In December 2018, I sought incardination in the EACA. I completed a Doctor of Ministry degree in 2001 and have done work toward a Ph.D with the Graduate Theological Foundation and the continuing education department of Oxford University through the Summer Theology Program at Christ Church College, Oxford. I have served as a correctional chaplain since 2015, and I am currently a chaplain with the New Mexico Corrections Department, serving at the Penitentiary of New Mexico in Santa Fe.

Having loved the Holy Father and His Son Jesus Christ since a young age, I didn't know what it meant to truly allow Jesus to be Lord of my life until I was baptized in His name at 31 years of age. Having walked with Him these last two decades has allowed me to grow spiritually and develop in ways that I could never have imagined for myself. I am currently in formation to become a Deacon and hope to be ordained in early 2018. My career goal is to be a Chaplain in order to provide spiritual comfort and guidance to hospital/hospice patients and their caregivers. Should the Lord will that I provide spiritual guidance to women in prison, I will gladly go there as well.
