About Us

Not on my watch.

Founded to answer the cry for justice by bringing reformation from city to city.

Our Founder

It started with a woman who was set free.

Before she was a pastor, an author, and a founder, Heather Schott was a teenager caught between two worlds — half her childhood in a Christian home, the other half surrounded by drugs, alcohol, and abuse. By sixteen, she was coping the only way she knew how.

A night of heavy drug use ended in an overdose. She was left for dead in an abandoned apartment; a doctor later told her she should not be alive. Months later, a pastor's kid named Landon invited her to church — and for the first time in her life, she felt peace wash over her like a wave. God delivered her from addiction that day, and that freedom became her life's mission. In 2019 she and Landon planted Mercy Culture Church; a year later, The Justice Reform was born.

Heather Schott · Founder, The Justice Reform

“I felt this peace like a wave wash over me — the first time I'd felt peace like that in my whole life. This is why I live for freedom today: because I experienced God's freedom.”

OUR LADY JUSTICE

Every element carries meaning.

The torch, the olive leaves, the crown, the hands, and the signet ring — each tells the story of light overcoming darkness.
