Jerome Cook was born and raised in Robbins, IL. It was at the age of 14 that the Lord called him to preach the gospel. The Lord revealed to him that he called him to bring forth healing and integrity back into the church, and this would be accomplished by the anointing and the transparent approach he uses to minister the word of God.
 He lives a life of prayer and understands the need to stay continuously connected to God. There is an anointing placed upon him to help build and develop men and women into leaders. He has a passion for empowering and educating people to pursue their purpose and equip them with the tools needed to succeed while meeting them right where they are in life. Knowing that iron sharpens iron, he constantly surrounds himself with creative, innovative, and educated Kingdom builders highly skilled in their crafts.
On May 23, 2021, Jerome was anointed and planted as the Senior Pastor of New Life Alive Church in Robbins, IL, by his spiritual father, John F. Hannah of New Life Covenant Southeast in Chicago, IL.
 He is the successful owner and Managing Broker of Prime Time Realty Group and Open Door Solutions, LLC.
Out of all the roles he fulfills, the one most important to him is being a husband to Lady Tasha Cook and a father to their four beautiful children and a grandfather.
