Ron K & Twila Jones
Pastor
Bro. Ron Jones was born in Lubbock, Texas, and was raised in a pastor’s home. He has been actively involved in the ministry for most of his life. In 1992, after hearing Bro. Sam Davison’s preaching, Bro. Ron surrendered his life to God. At that time, he was serving with Pastor William Fortson at Seminole Baptist in Springfield, Missouri, as Youth Director. In 1993, God opened the door and led Bro. Ron to Bible Baptist Church in Stillwater, Oklahoma, to serve with Bro. Dave McCracken as his Music and Youth Director. While involved in this fruitful ministry, God called Bro. Ron to Bend, Oregon, to work with his father who was planting a new church. Bro. Ron and his family served in Bend for almost 4 years. Then in the fall of 2000, God led the Jones family to Temple Baptist Church in El Dorado, Kansas. Bro. Ron served as Pastor David Shaffer’s Minister of Music and led the Children’s Ministries. In the fall of 2003, God led Temple Baptist to call Bro. Ron Jones as their pastor. Throughout his ministry, God has used Bro. Ron in various positions. He loves church and considers the ministry “The Greatest Thing I’ve ever done!”
Bro. Ron and Mrs. Twila were married in 1982, and the Lord blessed them with two children. Rachel is married to Ryan Wehr, and they have three children, Harrison, Harper, and Heidi. They live in El Dorado and serve the Lord in various ministries here at Temple. Stephen is married to Megan, and they serve the Lord at Arden Road Baptist Church with Pastor Aaron Denson. They have three children, Henrie, Sadie, and Lucie.
Bro. Ron and Mrs. Twila love the ministry and count it their honor and great joy to serve the Lord with the faithful and loving people of Temple Baptist Church.
