Meet The Pastor
Robert and Denise Jones
Pastor Robert Allen Jones, is a very energetic, compassionate, anointed and beloved pastor. His messages from the pulpit are delivered with the love of God and portray God’s never-ending commitment to His children. Pastor Jones has a deep and sincere understanding of the needs of people: spiritually and physically. He ministers with a gentle, yet stern word. Elder Jones always has an in-season word for God’s flock. He often says, “As far as being a Pastor is concerned, I am the manager, but God is the Owner.” He takes his Pastoral duties very seriously.
