Jones to teach New Testament classes for lay pastors



CHARLESTON — The Rev. Dr. Mike Jones of Charleston has been selected by the Illinois Great Rivers Conference to teach the New Testament class again this session, in its Course of Study school for the United Methodist lay pastors in downstate Illinois.

In this role, he serves as an adjunct faculty member of Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston.

Jones earned a master of divinity degree from Duke University and a doctorate degree from Eden Theological Seminary in St. Louis.

He is the author of “Forgotten Heroes and Unforgettable Characters” and co-author of “Extraordinary New Testament People.” Both books focus on providing in-depth Bible studies for senior high youth on women of the Bible, using the insights of critical feminist biblical scholars.

He and his wife, Cindy, are the senior pastors of Wesley United Methodist Church in Charleston.
