Early Life and Family Foundations
Apostle Jeremy Omar Thompson was born on April 16, 1977, in Savanna-la-Mar, Westmoreland, Jamaica. Raised by his mother, Kathrine Anglin, he grew up surrounded by the values of family, perseverance, hard work, and unconditional love.
His mother’s influence helped shape his character and instilled in him a deep appreciation for family, responsibility, and compassion — foundational values that would later influence his approach to ministry, business leadership, and his relationships with others.
A Life Transformed by Faith
One of the defining moments of Apostle Thompson’s life was his personal encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ. This spiritual transformation gave him a renewed identity, purpose, and direction. His Christian faith became the foundation upon which he would build his family life, ministry, and professional endeavours.
His testimony reflects the promise of 2 Corinthians 5:17, which describes the transforming power of becoming a new creation in Christ.
The Calling into Ministry
At the age of 40, Apostle Jeremy Thompson began his journey into Christian ministry. His calling developed into a commitment to preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, teaching biblical truth, encouraging spiritual maturity, and helping others discover their purpose in God.
As pastor and founder of Shekinah Temple Church of Jesus Christ in Jamaica, he has embraced a vision of establishing a spiritual family where people can experience the presence of God, receive biblical instruction, and grow in faith. The name Shekinah expresses the theme of God’s dwelling presence and glory, reflecting the spiritual vision of the ministry.

Apostle Thompson’s ministry emphasises the centrality of Jesus Christ, the authority of Scripture, prayer, worship, spiritual restoration, and Christian discipleship. His desire is to see believers strengthened in their relationship with God and equipped to live lives of purpose, integrity, and faithful service. The ministry also extends through online preaching and teaching on the church’s YouTube channel.
A Ministry of Music and Worship
In addition to preaching and teaching, Apostle Thompson is a singer and songwriter. Music has served as another expression of his Christian faith, providing opportunities to communicate messages of worship, encouragement, hope, and spiritual restoration. His personal experiences of hardship, faith, and perseverance have shaped his understanding of worship as an expression of both gratitude and testimony.
Family, Love, and Personal Loss
Family occupies a central place in Apostle Thompson’s life. As a husband and father, he values love, responsibility, commitment, and building a lasting family legacy. His journey has also included profound personal losses, including the passing of his mother, father, and younger brother. These experiences have deepened his compassion for people facing grief, hardship, and uncertainty — and through these seasons, his faith in God’s sustaining grace has remained an essential part of his testimony.
Entrepreneurship and Business Leadership
Beyond the pulpit, Apostle Thompson is the owner and Chief Executive Officer of Diamond Windows and Doors, a manufacturing company. His entrepreneurial work reflects his belief that Christian principles should influence every area of life, including business, leadership, employee relationships, and customer service. He emphasises discipline, integrity, excellence, and responsible stewardship. For Apostle Thompson, ministry is not confined to the church building; it is also expressed through ethical leadership, service to others, and the opportunities created through enterprise.
