A FEW FACTS ABOUT OUR PASTOR,
THE REVEREND JOHN JONES AND HIS FAMILY

 Biographical Sketch of Rev. John R. Jones

Rev. Jones, born in Greenville, NC, claims Kinston, NC as his hometown, but has traveled around most of the United States due to his father?s military career.  After his father retired from the U.S. Army, they did indeed make Kinston their home.  His areas of ministry have included both North Carolina as well as Virginia.  He held one student pastorate in Salem, NC during his Seminary days, but upon graduation, he felt called to Zacata, VA for his first full-time pastorate.  Several years later, the Lord called him from the Southern Baptist arena, and sent him into the arms of the United Methodist Church. 

Rev. Jones has served several charge and station churches over the past 14 years, including the Isle of Wight Charge, the Cheriton-Oyster Charge, Christ UMC in Covington, VA, back to the Eastern Shore to serve Tangier Island, and have now been blessed by being sent here to Northumberland Charge.
His education background includes East Carolina University (BSBA in Finance); Southeastern Seminary (MDiv); as well as college credit in United Methodist Courses.
