Corky Alexander

Jack L. “Corky” Alexander was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 3, 1954. After having dropped out of high school to pursue music among the counterculture, Corky became a convert in the Jesus Movement. He found a home in the Pentecostal church in 1976, where he met his future wife, Kimberly. After their marriage they left their evangelistic music ministry and pursued pastoral ministry and church planting for twenty-six years. They planted churches in Middletown, Rhode Island, and Smyrna, Georgia. Corky’s ministry has been focused upon forgotten peoples.

In 2006, Corky moved from a traditional pastoral role to establish a music program among the intellectually disabled at Life Bridges, Inc., Cleveland, Tennessee. Since graduating from Fuller Theological Seminary with his Doctor of Missiology in 2010, he has been involved in Native American Services, serving through ministerial development, education and health care. Corky is also an active musician, doing a Blues clinic at the University in Uruguay, doing music activities in health care centers, serving as guitar instructor at Brennan's Rock and Roll Academy in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and serving as resident artist at the Sicangu Lakota Cultural Arts Center at the Buffalo Jump, Mission, South Dakota.
